Le Moie Verdicchio dei castelli di jesi classico 1994

[cpurvis]

(cp approaches the Home Thread of Roberto wearing kevlar underwear...& a rope around his ankle just in case the Brazilian Zeus is really on his game...)

Stumbled on this in the giveaway bin for $1.99 & figured what-th-heck, so (Italian Wine God) I DON'T KNOW if the people behind Le Moie / Fazi-Battaglia are Italian, American, French, Good or Evil. However, I knew it might be way over the hill, but it wasn't.

Clear, deep golden color..think apple juice. Restrained aromas -- hints of ripe pear w/ mineral & floral notes. Full-bodied white. Not a quaffer, but a food wine. Not overly fruity, but, with food, hints of honeydew, citrus & mineral on the palate w/ a pleasant wash of acidity mid-palate to clean finish.

Matched beautifully with the meal: sauteed ling cod with green onion/garlic/wine sauce, pan roasted squash & tomatoes sprinkled w/ parmesan, & a green salad w/ roasted garlic/parmesan dressing. FRESH was the description that came to mind. Unexpected pleasure from an aged SW. cp
