Tenuta dell'Ugolino Le Piaole Verdicchio dei Castello de Jesi

A bouquet of spicy sour melon, lime zests and savory herbs makes the 2021 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Le Piaole decidedly green in character. It’s soft-textured with a reverberation of vibrant acidity and tart orchard fruits that take on a crunchy feel toward the close. A resonance of citrusy tension lingers through the finale, along with nuances of nectarine. While a bit immediate, there's a lot of zesty character to be found here. Nicely done.
