A pungently floral and mineral-laced bouquet of musky peach and pear, spice, yellow flowers and crushed stone lifts up from the 2018 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Riserva Vigna Il Cantico della Figura. It’s round and silky in feel, with ripe orchard fruits contrasted by hints of sour lime and a salty savoriness that comes forward toward the close. This tapers off long and tense, leaving nuances of raw almond and custards to linger. There’s already so much going on here; but don’t be afraid of losing a few bottles in the cellar, as the 2018 can easily excel through medium-term cellaring. ... More details

Fermentation is in concrete vats, with about half the harvest macerated on its skins for two weeks during fermentation. Aged in concrete on the lees for one year followed by two additional years in bottle before release.

Region: Marche

There are few regions in the world which can boast of a wine industry quite as ancient or influential as that of Marche in Italy. For almost three thousand years, vineyards have been cultivated in the central eastern region of Marche, where the Adriatic winds cool the hot vines, and the mineral rich mountainous soil provides plenty of nutrition, helping the grapes reach full ripeness. Marche is most commonly associated with fine white wines, usually made from the exceedingly high quality Trebbiano and Verdicchio grapes which flourish there. However, wineries in Marche are also adept at making exceptional red wines from Montepulciano and Sangiovese, which are increasingly popular with international wine drinkers, and which express the real quality of the terroir they grow on, and the expertise of the wine makers of Marche.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
