Villa Bucci Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Riserva Classico DOC

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC, Italy

The reference point for Verdicchio — organically farmed, barrel-fermented and long-lees-aged. Green apple, white almond, beeswax, white truffle and striking mineral salinity; medium-full bodied with a persistent bitter-almond finish that defines the variety at its most serious.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's textural complexity and mineral precision balance the brown-butter richness of grilled sole.
• main: The wine's bitter-almond complexity and mineral depth are the traditional Marche pairing for the region's own lasagne.
• main: Verdicchio's sea-mineral acidity and almond bitterness are the definitive Adriatic match for Ancona's multi-fish stew.
