  Inbetween Christmas and New Year, and instead of left overs from Xmas Day, we decided on a white fish dish, cod, with a pepper sauce, along with sprouts with chorizo, carrots and potatoes. So this Verdicchio was taken from the shelf, chilled a little, and was a delightful accompaniment for the meal. Lemon and almond nose, a high level of acidity which worked wonders with the pepper sauce, unexpectedly fluid rather than honey like on the palate, but with a lingering finish, and residual citrus resounding in the mouth.
  A perfect lighter wine to enjoy between the heaviness usually found at this time of the year.

  Solid, very structured and highly delicious bottle of verdicchio. Preserved lemon, green pear, smoked sea salt.

  On our balcony in Venice overlooking gondolas floating past. This was terrific right from the aromatics - floral and enticing. Nice body with fruit and acidity in true balance and a finish that kept going. Will definitely buy this again.
