COLLELEVA 2022 Verdicchio des Castelli di Jesi (Marche, Italy)

A delicious white wine from the Marche region (Central East Coast) across from Rome.  Verdicchio means "little green one", a name which holds true for the wines it makes in central Marche. These are typically straw colored with pronounced green tinges and have a correspondingly "green" aroma profile, leaning towards herbaceous notes and fresh apples. This is complemented by crisp acidity and a pleasant, slightly bitter aftertaste redolent of toasted almonds. These characteristics make it an ideal match with regional seafood dishes such as Brodetto di Pesce, a rich seafood stew like bouillabaisse, or cheeses such as pecorino.
