Verdicchio

Verdicchio is the great grape of Le Marche, and arguably Italy’s finest white grape, reaching the greatest heights in the famous DOCs, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Verdicchio di Matelica. Capable of diverse expressions, from fragrant green apple and blossom notes to quite exotic candied citrus peel and honey, and from the brightly acidic to the lusciously textured. One of the triumphs of Verdicchio is the validity of such varied expressions in the right hands. Verdicchio is also thought to be identical to Trebbiano di Lugana and Trebbiano di Soave.
