  Verdicchio. Unctuous. Rich mouth filling flavours, combination of savoury, herbal, rich Amalfi lemon. Tertiary tang on the finish. Long and intense, complex. Drink now, will go on for a few more years.

  Davvero un ottimo vino, invecchiato pure molto bene.
  Vino bianco che sa reggere il tempo molto bene.

  Very disappointing--slightly oxidized, medium body, no real character here. Let it breath, tried to see if it would come around but no. Wanted a high end verdicchio, but this has been improperly stored, or is just too old.

  This is one of the better QPA Italian whites I have had. Tons of minerality, but with white fruit and great acid structure. Not like the lip-smacking young ones, but closer to a mature Alsace or Loire sauvignon blanc in mouthfeel. Will hold for several more years I think.

  1.5years since last bottle, It was pretty austere then, and the acidity has since evened out considerably, with citrus pith, sea foam, and flint wrapped in a pretty lush texture.
  
  I was hoping some more complexity would develop with the extra time in the bottle, but no such luck. Maybe it was just a dull vintage. The wine certain held up to age structurally, and it has classic verdicchio typicity.
