"100% Verdicchio. The fruit is from 10 hectares of various vineyards on the Felici farm, from 10- to 40-year-old vines. The vineyards are between 500 and 600m above sea level; Leo's vineyard site at 600m is the highest in the appellation. Harvest was in late September/early October at yields of 11,000kg/ha (about 60hl/ha). Fermentation is in conrete vats and stainlees steel tanks. About half the harvest is macerated a few days on the skins during fermentation. Malolactic fermentation does not take place. Aged on its lees for 6 to 12 months, with six staggered bottlings taking place." —importer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A very fresh-toned, dry and succulent expression of verdicchio, with a mineral lift to the pomelo and green apple aromas. Pure and very elegant on the palate with a pithy, mouthwatering finish. Light but not boring, which shows a gastronomic quality and purity." —James Suckling "The 2021 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore balances richness with purity, as masses of crushed yellow apple, raw almond and hints of musky dried peach waft up from the glass. This washes across the palate with soft textures and a pleasant inner sweetness balanced by depths of mineral-tinged orchard fruits. It leaves a citrusy concentration upon the senses, a mix of lemon and lime, while slowly tapering off with a salty flourish." —Vinous |
