  Deep yellow color with pale green highlights, slightly oily appearance. Elegant, balanced and quite expressive nose with aromas of honeydew melon, pear, some yellow damson, a little almond, a hint of hay and a touch of herbal notes. Dry, moderately full-bodied and broad palate with slightly oily mouthfeel counterpointed by bright, racy acidity. Complex flavors of dried herbs, acid-driven citrus fruits, some floral nuances, a little yellow damson and a hint of almonds with a vague undertone of vanilla. Ripe, fruity and medium-long finish with harmonious flavors of exotic spices, yellow stone fruits, some minerality and a hint of almond-driven nuttiness.
  
  In a sense this is not a "big, voluptuous and impressive" Riserva white, but instead a balanced and well-made Verdicchio, where the difference between Riserva and "normale" is the addition of depth, complexity and elegance, not bigger concentration, more ripe fruit and heavier oak influence. A very stylish and sophisticated Verdicchio di Matelica, which is thoroughly enjoyable on its own, but also a lovely, versatile food wine. Definitely one of the better Verdicchios in the market. Tremendous value at 15€.
