“Tre Ripe” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC
Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi boasts a microclimate well suited for lighter and fresher
Verdicchio expression. Clay and limestone amplify minerality and freshness of fruit character. A tell-tale varietal note of all Verdicchio is often described as sweet almond. Verdicchio is a non-aromatic variety, but expect a streak of citrus to show, especially lime. Because Verdicchio maintains high levels of tartaric acidity, the wines can be crisp, refreshing and highly age-worthy.
