Filodivino "Matto" Castelli dei Jesi Verdicchio 2021
A versatile grape from Marche region of Central Italy that can be so refreshing and complex at the same time. It has often been referred to as a red wine in disguise due to its immense character, its texture and medium bodied hug. Made from 100% Verdicchio, the grapes are harvested by hand and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for six months on the lees to add complexity and body.
Pours into the glass a clear and shiny yellow color. The nose is expressive and inviting, with aromas of white flowers, such as acacia and chamomile, along with peach, apple and pear. As the wine opens up, notes of citrus herbaceousness and almond emerge, adding complexity and nuance.The palate is medium-bodied with a bright, refreshing acidity and a smooth, creamy texture. The flavors of fruit are prominent, along with notes of fennel, almond, and lemon curd. The finish is long and lingering on grapefruit pith, almond skin, honey and savory salinity. This wine has such an incredible texture that keeps you coming back for more. Fun, Fresh, Double Fun and Fantastic.
