Tucked away amongst the gently rolling hills of Marche, is the home of the Verdicchio grape. Cultivated in this region for centuries, the name of the grape is derived from the root “verde” which describes the greenish hue of the grape skins as well as the wine itself. Crisp and refreshing, with a strong minerality, Verdicchio could be considered the Adriatic’s response to Loire Valley's Melon de Bourgogne. This chiseled wine is lean, delicate citrus and white peach mingle on the palate alongside crunchy marcona almonds and just a pinch of salt.
