Varietal

Verdicchio

Verdicchio, an esteemed white grape varietal native to Italy's Marche region, flourishes in the picturesque hillsides and maritime-influenced climate. Revered for its versatility and expressive character, Verdicchio produces wines of exceptional quality and distinction. Verdicchio wines are renowned for their vibrant acidity, medium body, and distinctive flavors of green apple, citrus, and almond. With a crisp and refreshing palate, they offer a delightful balance that pairs seamlessly with a variety of cuisines, from seafood and salads to poultry and light pasta dishes. As interest in Italian white wines grows, Verdicchio continues to captivate enthusiasts with its elegant expression and unmistakable charm, serving as a testament to the rich viticultural heritage

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Marche

Marche, an Italian wine region on the Adriatic coast, is one of the world's most ancient wine regions. For thousands of years, vines have been cultivated in this beautiful and mountainous landscape, and the region has been influenced by the Pheonicians, the Lombards and the Romans, giving it a wine culture and identity quite unlike any other region of Italy. With a relatively high number of DOC and DOCG titles, Marche is home to many of Italy's finest wines, and is a region most readily associated with superb white wines. Indeed, the most common grape varietals grown in Marche are the Trebbiano and Verdicchio, which have been cultivated in vast amounts for white wine production in Marche for at least six hundred years, and which produce wines packed full of unique flavors associated with the region.

Wine Advocate

Here's a wine that stands out immediately as something very special. The Montecappone 2019 Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva Classico Utopia offers a very enticing bouquet with elements of honey, baked peach, grilled herb and even a touch of sizzled bacon fat. It ages on the fine lees for 12 months, and a small percentage goes into oak. I especially like the creamy, almost glossy, texture offered by this Riserva. There's good reason to feel optimistic for the aging future of this 7,000-bottle release.

James Suckling

This has aromas of beeswax, pears, apples and acacia honey. It’s medium-bodied with a fleshy, oily texture. Tasty and lengthy. Drink now.

Winery Notes

Notes of lime and chamomile along with other herbs, thyme, and sage. Delicious with fried food, grilled fish, fish soup, and grilled swordfish.
