Bucci "Villa Bucci" Verdicchio Dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore DOC 2022
(Marche, Italy) - [WE 93]

Notes from the Winemaker:
Azienda Agricola F.lli Bucci has been running a totally organic operation for over thirty years. In fact, it has become one of the keys to Bucci’s time-honored excellence.

The grapes from each vineyard are vinified separately and blended later to achieve the winemaker’s goals. Fragrant and flavorful, a classic Marche wine that ages only in stainless steel to ensure the characteristic aromas and freshness of the native grape remain pure.

Tasting Notes:
Deep straw yellow. Pleasingly fruity with a persistent bouquet, showing notes of Golden Delicious apples and almonds. Good body and silky

Food Pairing:
Ideal as an aperitif, or with pasta, fish risotto, white meat, and mild cheese.

Ratings & Reviews

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Citrus blossom, candied lemon peel, mountain flowers and sea-salt aromas drive the nose of this stunning wine. The salty palate is mouthwatering and balances savory and fruit notes perfectly featuring flavors of preserved lemon, tart apricots, lemongrass and fennel fronds. Drink now–2035." - Jeff Porter (May 2024)
