There are two main regions in the Marche for Verdicchio: Jesi and Matelica. Jesi, located closer to the sea, is known for its opulence and fleshier style, while Matelica, further inland and elevated, is known for its tautness. Bisci, the most famous producer of Matelica, puts their continental climate on full display with apple, melon, and pear, followed by a sea-salt minerality, so decadent that you can seek your teeth into it. 2022 marks the 40th vintage of this wine, hence the unique label, and is the perfect companion to the “fruits” of spring and summer: white asparagus, soft shell crab, rockfish, yellowtail snapper, ramps, and spring peas galore! So, grab a bottle for every day of the week, and say hello to your new house white, Verdicchio. ~Allegra A
