Bucci 2023 Verdicchio dei Castelli de Jesi Classico Superiore

The 2022 Bucci Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore is a stunning example of Italian white wine elegance, often referred to as the “White Barolo” for its layered complexity and cellar-worthy structure. It pours a brilliant straw yellow with silver reflections, and the nose is immediately captivating—crisp green apple, pear, melon rind, and salted lemon peel mingle with hints of white flowers and sea mist. On the palate, it’s bright and mouthwatering, with flavors of preserved lemon, tart apricot, lemongrass, and fennel fronds, all balanced by a savory minerality and a polished, creamy texture from aging in large, old oak barrels. This wine’s refined acidity and depth make it a versatile companion at the table, pairing beautifully with lean fish, vegetarian dishes, pasta with herbs or seafood, and even cured meats. Whether enjoyed now or aged through 2029, it’s a testament to Ampelio Bucci’s mastery and the noble character of Verdicchio.
