Tre Castelli "Vignedileo", Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi “Frocco”, Marche, Italy, 2022
100% Verdicchio (old vine)
PEAR & LEMON CURD, CREAMY ALMOND, LAVISH YET LITHE
So! Verdicchio absolutely stands on its own merits. However! This one is also doing an impressive white Burgundy impersonation with its creamy undercurrents of toasted almond as well as its winning combination of mouth-filling richness and vibrant acidity. But back to Verdicchio standing on its own merits. It’s one of the world’s great specialists in seafood pairings while also having the kind of structure that often allows for age-influenced finesse. An Adriatic adventurer!
Serving Suggestions: Humboldt squid steak in white wine & basil cream sauce. Potatoes au gratin (w/ pecorino) & broccolini
