Marvel in one the best-kept secrets of Italy; a region known as Marche, famous for producing the quintessential Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi wine. Nestled between the verdant Apennine Mountains and the captivating Adriatic Sea, the region of Marche is a vinicultural paradise.
Bearing a royal heritage traced back to the 14th century, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi wine is a symbol of Italian finesse and sophistication. It’s quite literally named after the region - 'Verdicchio' indicates the local green-tinged grape, whilst 'Castelli di Jesi' refers to the array of castle-towns around the town of Jesi.
Cultivated in vineyards that soak up an abundance of sunshine, the microclimate within the valleys where Verdicchio grapes thrive is the secret spice to their unique characteristics, blending sunny heat with cool maritime breezes. This balanced climate gives the wine its remarkable freshness, vivacity and complexity, making it a global competitor in the white wine market.
Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi presents an intriguing bouquet of fragrances, with fresh citrus and green apple notes underlaid by hints of almond and a crisp minerality. It distinguishes itself through its longevity; the wine continues to develop and intensify in flavour several years after bottling, adding honeyed richness to its profile.
As a gastronomic partner, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is versatile. It pairs wonderfully with the coast's seafood dishes, and it complements rich pasta sauces and white meats from the hinterland. But it's not just a companion to food - Verdicchio is just as enjoyable sipped on its own, appreciated for its crisp, revitalising qualities.
From the vineyards of Marche, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi wine offers a delightful discovery for the novice and connoisseur alike. A sip of this wine isn't merely a taste, it’s an experience; an invitation to explore the characterful terrains, rich history, and the enchanting allure of Italy’s captivating Marche region.
