2020 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi

Colleleva
Discount Eligible $14.00
SOLD OUT

Call it a palate cleanser, a breath mint, mouth rinse, or whatever you like: Colleleva’s Verdicchio is a thirst quencher on an elemental level, the crisp white wine that always delivers when it’s time to kick off an evening, a reliable workhorse to wash down light meals and provide unconditional refreshment. Zesty and citrusy, with a peppy spritz on the palate, it could be considered the Adriatic’s response to Muscadet. The price makes it all the easier to stock up and gulp down.

About The Region

Le Marche

map of Le Marche

Le Marche’s reputation as a producer of fine wine is relatively recent, as the region is very much off the beaten path for tourists and tasters alike. And yet, early Etrsucan and Roman civilizations grew grapes here, a tradition that persists and continues to gain momentum in this undulating land where the Apennines descend to the Adriatic.

In between the warm coastline and the cool, rugged mountainous border with Umbria lies a landscape of calcareous rolling hills that provide ideal conditions for viticulture. The zingy, green-tinged, citrus- and pine-scented Verdicchio is king here, producing delightfully crisp whites that perfectly complement the fresh fish and seafood stews of the Adriatic, in addition to the pork-based dishes that are staples inland. Around the towns of Jesi and Matelica, the grape takes on an additional dimension and is even capable of significant aging under the right conditions.

While our involvement in the region is recent, the two producers we represent demonstrate that Le Marche is capable of producing whites of serious interest, which often come at great value.

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
