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.

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.

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