Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi

The Influence of the Adriatic and the Historic "Classico" Zone

The word "Classico" on the label indicates that the grapes were harvested in the oldest and most historically significant zone of this appellation. Unlike the mountainous regions further inland, the vineyards of Castelli di Jesi experience the strong influence of the Adriatic sea breeze. This helps the grapes retain their crisp acidity and imparts a distinctive saline minerality to the wine. Because of this perfect balance, this white wine is highly prized worldwide and is often bottled in distinctively shaped amphora bottles.

The Perfect Match for Seafood

If you are looking for the ideal beverage to accompany fish dishes, look no further. Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico is the ultimate wine for fish. It pairs wonderfully with fried calamari, fresh oysters, seafood risotto, and light poultry dishes. It also serves as a fantastic aperitif on a warm summer evening.

What does the name Verdicchio mean?
The name "Verdicchio" derives from the Italian word "verde," meaning green. It refers to the light greenish hue of the grape skin, which remains even when fully ripe, as well as the subtle green reflections visible in the wine itself.

Can this wine be cellared?
While basic Verdicchio wines are meant to be enjoyed young and fresh (1 to 3 years after the vintage), higher-tier "Superiore" or "Riserva" examples have excellent aging potential. They can mature successfully in a cellar for 5 to 10 years, developing complex notes of honey and toasted almonds.

At what temperature should it be served?
We recommend serving it well chilled, at around 8–10 °C, to maximize the wine's crispness and to highlight its delicate floral and citrus aromas.
