This wonderful Verdicchio comes from vineyards planted over clay and limestone in the hills outside Cupramontana. The wine is fermented and aged in old concrete vats and while the majority is given a direct press, around twenty percent sits on skins for a few days, lending a little flesh and grip. From a cooler vintage, this has a delicate perfume of almonds and brine and a gentle hint of salt and bitterness, which bring refreshment and intrigue.
