Organoleptic characteristics
Straw yellow, bright.
Nose that, in addition to iodine, reveals a predominant green component: citrus peel, lime, mint, pepper. Memories of custard. The fruit is well present: ripe peach, pineapple.
Mouth that combines a broad entrance, on the fruit, with freshness, thanks to returns of mint. The “aromatic” component on the palate is as broad as the ripe fruit (melon and white peach). It closes long, wide and narrow, in a precious game between roundness and hardness.
Pairings a traditional-style Verdicchio, perfect travel companion for seafood tagliatelle, vincisgrassi, monkfish.
The state of the art of the expressive potential of Verdicchio fruit of an extreme viticulture, in some ways heroic.
"The producer, to do his job well, must be at the service of the territory, trying to enhance it in a neutral and sweet way, without original and extravagant bizarre interpretations". Gianluca Mirizzi
