The 2018 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Podium is spicy and wildly fresh, wafting up with zests of lemon and lime, followed by dusty yellow flowers and white smoke. Its textures are velvety and round, verging on oily, while remaining wonderfully poised and finessed throughout. There’s almost a feeling of vibration on the palate, as notes of ripe green apple with a hint of tropical citrus and savory spices amass in the mouth and linger long. The sheer density of fruit, along with balanced acids, make the 2018 a perfect contender to cellar, but it is showing beautifully today.
