Verdicchio di Matelica 2021

De biologische Verdicchio di Matelica, Collestefano van Fabio Marchionni is van de Duitse school: klare wijn zonder rafelrandjes, op rvs opgevoed. Wel een icoonwijn: vijfmaal tre bicchieri Gambero Rosso; Decanter: Italy’s best buy-wine of all time… 2021 is pril en fris met citrus, appeltjes, gember, amandel, strak maar voldoende soepel en crispy.

Eric Guido, Vinous 89 pt, over de 2019: The 2019 Verdicchio di Matelica is racy and vibrant in the glass with a kiss of sweetness that I’m finding quite alluring. Lemon zest, peppery herbs and florals give way to crushed limestone and hints of peach. It’s soothing and gentle, yet with enough juicy acids and spice to create a wonderfully balanced expression. Salty minerals linger long on this tension-filled and thirst-quenching Verdicchio.
