"With only 3,894 bottles released last year, the Bisci 2018 Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva Senex is a spectacular wine with impressive depth and complexity. The bouquet reveals soft swells of tropical fruit, green melon, kiwi and crushed stone. The effect is very silky and fine; however, the wine offers beautiful length. There is ample volume too and dimension, which bodes well for the long-term aging potential of this bottle. This special wine represents a culmination of experience and wisdom."
