The 2022 Marchetti Tenuta del Cavaliere Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore is a meticulously crafted white wine from the Marche region. Produced by Maurizio Marchetti, this wine benefits from an extra month of hang time on the vine, enhancing its structure and depth. Fermented using free-run juice and aged on lees in stainless steel tanks for five months, it offers a harmonious balance between richness and acidity.
TASTING NOTES: This wine presents a straw yellow hue with greenish highlights. The nose is adorned with floral notes of acacia and almond blossom, complemented by honeyed citrus aromas. On the palate, it is round and mouth-filling, yet maintains a clean and crisp profile. The finish is balanced and long, with a hint of floral spice.
FOOD PAIRINGS: An ideal companion to spicy dishes, vegetarian fare, and firmer, oilier fish and seafood. It pairs exceptionally well with regional seafood dishes such as Brodetto di Pesce, rich seafood stews like bouillabaisse, cheeses like pecorino, and dishes featuring earthy and umami notes. Its classic almond finish also complements foods with a hint of bitterness, such as Brussels sprouts or Belgian endives.
