The 2021 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco is wonderfully perfumed and lifted, presenting an herbal-tinged bouquet of wet stones, chlorophyll and green apples. This sleek and racy effort sends waves of mineral-tinged orchard fruits and hints of sour citrus across the palate, all guided by brisk acidity. Sour melon and inner florals resonate throughout the mouth-watering finish as a caking of minerality slowly cracks and crumbles.

The 2021 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco offers a minimalist read of the grape with very fresh and focused aromas of white flower, cut grass, freshly squeezed grapefruit and a hint of white pepper. The wine completes a quick 12 months in stainless steel to obtain these very clean results. There is a zesty, electric quality to the finish. Production is 40,000 bottles. This wine was made in 2021, but a Riserva was not made because of the very hot weather.

This four-hectare cru facing the river spends 12 months on the lees without batonnage in stainless steel tanks, giving intense and fresh apple and lemon characters accompanied by floral scents and subtle spice. Soft and smooth, there's a touch of leesy creaminess underlining orange peel and juicy pineapple, peach and baked apple flavours. White pepper notes emerge on the long finish.
