Conti Buscareto Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi

Le Marche

Delicate notes of sea salt and honeyed wildflowers linger on the nose, while a splash of grapefruit juice and crushed stones make for an invigorating mouth. Round, sweet and very juicy, the 2009 Verdicchio is aged completely in tank for ultimate freshness.

The Verdicchio cultivar is produced almost exclusively in Le Marche. It is an a native vine, whose history and establishment can be traced back through the centuries. The vines are kept to low yields, producing a very ripe grape, in order to enhance the qualities of this historical variety. Grapes are manually selected on the vine and rest in shallow cases which are immediately brought to the cellar, where the entire grape undergoes gentle pressing.
