PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Bucci 2022 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore is a benchmark white from Marche, celebrated for its depth, structure, and elegance—Wine Enthusiast awarded it 93 points, praising it as “category-defining”.
Appearance: Pale straw with silver or green-gold reflections
Aromas: A compelling mix of citrus blossom, candied lemon peel, mountain flowers, sea‑salt, white orchard fruits (pear/apple), subtle almond and fennel notes
Palate: Exceptionally crisp and mouthwatering, with saline minerality. Flavors include preserved lemon, tart apricot, lemongrass, fennel fronds, lemon cream, juicy citrus, and polished wet-stone mineral underpinnings
Made from 100% Verdicchio sourced from historic vineyards in Castelli di Jesi, this “Classico Superiore” sees fermentation and elevage in large, old Slavonian oak barrels and stainless steel—producing creamy, layered texture without overpowering oak.
Acidity: High‑crisp, balancing its medium‑full body.
Alcohol: About 13–13.5% ABV
Potential: Elegant now, with cellaring potential through at least 2035 and possibly up to 2039 .
Ideal with seafood (shellfish, shell-on prawns), fish risotto, grilled white meats, creamy pasta dishes, and mild cheeses. Its savory-saline character enhances Mediterranean cuisine beautifully .
This vintage exemplifies Verdicchio at its finest: combining mineral precision, structural depth, and aromatic complexity. It’s earned its "White Barolo" reputation, thanks to Bucci’s meticulous low yields and traditional cellar approach.
A refined, polished expression of Verdicchio—with citrus and floral aromatics, saline minerality, and a creamy yet vibrant palate. Perfect now or can be tucked away for several more years. Highly recommended for lovers of serious Italian whites.
"Citrus blossom, candied lemon peel, mountain flowers and sea-salt aromas drive the nose of this stunning wine. The salty palate is mouthwatering and balances savory and fruit notes perfectly featuring flavors of preserved lemon, tart apricots, lemongrass and fennel fronds." Wine Enthusiast 93 Points
