📜 Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva
An aged white from Verdicchio grown on the hills around Jesi in Marche.
Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva is an aged white wine from the Verdicchio grape grown on hills around the town of Jesi in the Marche region of eastern Italy. Riserva means that the wine was aged longer than usual. The name is protected as a PDO. The wine is still.
Verdicchio is one of Italy's main white grapes. Ordinary wine from it is light and fresh, with notes of lemon and almond. The Riserva is fuller and more complex: it is aged in tanks or barrels and then for a while longer in the bottle. With time, notes of honey, nuts and herbs appear. Good acidity helps the wine age.
Bottles of Verdicchio often have a special shape reminiscent of an amphora. This is a visual hallmark of the grape, though the shape is not always used.
The Castelli di Jesi area lies close to the Adriatic Sea. Near the sea, a light breeze and cool nights help grapes keep their acidity. The wine goes well with fish and seafood.
