About the wine
A truly special wine that showcases verdicchio in its most fantastic way.
The grapes for this wine are grown at an altitude of 350 meters on Monte Follonica, on the San Paolo di Jesi side. With good exposure in the calcareous clay soil, the grapes thrive well with sunny days and slightly cooler nights.
The production is a good combination of traditional methods and modern technology. The grapes are carefully handpicked and gently pressed to preserve the fine flavor nuances. The wine is then fermented in large 25 hl oak barrels and steel, followed by 18 months of aging in a combination of large barrels, cement, and stainless steel. Finally, the wine rests in the bottle for an additional 6 months before release.
The wine has a beautiful and shiny straw-yellow color. The aroma is a blend of citrus fruits, especially lemon and lime. When delving a little deeper, one can also smell white peaches and sweet pears. There is also a faint floral scent that adds an extra dimension to the wine.
The fresh acidity, characteristic of verdicchio, blends beautifully with the minerality in a fine balance. The nutty undertone provides fine complexity. Overall, it gives the wine a fine texture and a sense of depth. The aftertaste is really beautiful and persistently fresh.
The mineral character gives a sense of purity and refinement and ties the taste experience together in an elegant way.
Pievalta San Paolo Verdicchio Riserva DOCG 2020 is truly a delicious verdicchio wine. Definitely one of our favorites, and we are sure you will love it too!
