The Marche is a beautiful natural area in central Italy, which the tourism industry has not yet jumped on. Verdicchio enjoys some notoriety even among us, mainly because of its somewhat kitschy amphora-shaped "Gina Lollobrigida" bottle. The main producers are trying to get rid of that image by putting the emphasis on the wine and no longer on the bottle. Sartarelli has currently become the reference of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi.
Grape: 100% Verdicchio: a single vineyard with old vines, green pruning for low yields and a careful manual picking ensure ideal grapes.
Winemaking: After gentle pressing of the grapes, fermentation takes place in large stainless steel vats under precise temperature control.
Color: clear, straw yellow color.
Nose and taste: A wine with a nice balanced structure, round and soft in the mouth but still very fresh. The complex nose, in which you can smell quinces, hazelnuts and also flowers. In the mouth there is a perfect balance between the plumpness and the elegant acidity.
Serving: At cellar temperature, but in summer it may be allowed in the fridge an hour beforehand. But be careful not to serve it too cold.
Serving with: Ideal with fish and shellfish, but also just delicious as a no-drinker best enjoyed.
