Le Moie Verdicchio dei castelli di jesi classico 1994

[Botafogo]

CP, Verdicchio is indeed worthy of both respect and aging. Our friend Ampellio Bucci releases his Riservas when they are 8-10 years old (and no trees are killed to produce them, it's all about reductive winemaking and extracting the natural lifeforce within the grapes).

As to FB, they are the Mondavi meets Almaden of the zona and provide work for thousands of contadinas who sell them grapes but for the real deal on Verdicchio seek out La Monacesca, Bucci, Seranelli and a couple of others I'll remember in the morning.....
