"Beaming with green orchard fruit fervour with liberal quantities of lively herbs and citrus. Bright and vigorous with a waxy texture and an almond finish."

"Luminous straw-green. Chamomile, lemon tea and apple on the nose and in the mouth. Clean fresh long, this is not unlike a saline-tnged fruit cocktail. Some herbs add interest to what is a very good wine. The grapes have a southeast exposure so that they are picked fully ripe (the last white grapes picked at the winery); aged 12 months in stainless steel without batonnage because the structuie of the wine is big enough as it is (usually the case with Verdicchio)."

"The 2022 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco is intense, with an air of chalk dust and dried flowers blowing off to reveal crushed yellow apples and gingery spice. This is soothingly round and enveloping, taking on an oily feel as it flows across the palate with a wave of lime-tinged nectarines. The 2022 finishes crisp and focused, leaving a staining of minerality and herbal tinge to linger on."

"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."

"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."

"This wine opens on scents of freshly cut herbs and pressed white flower petals. Its flavors of golden apple and Bartlett pear are pure and harmonious, woven with mouthwatering acidity and flecked with mineral tones."
