Umani Ronchi, Casal di Serra Verdicchio 2024, 75cl
Umani Ronchi's Casal di Serra is produced from a selection of the finest hillside vineyards in the heart of the Castelli di Jesi Classico zone. Fruit is blended from two zones, Le Busche and San Sebastiano, from old vines on loose sand and clay soils. It was one of the region's first single-selection Verdicchios and remains a reference point for the variety today. Fermented with its natural yeasts and aged on its lees, it combines Verdicchio's hallmark freshness with impressive texture, depth and ageing potential.
"A ripe, floral nose with baked apples and lemons, pressed flowers and a hint of ginger-tinged honey, turning immediately vivid and intense on the medium-bodied palate and driving through the long, tightly packed finish. Yet, it remains a well-proportioned verdicchio with a lovely, silky texture. From organically grown grapes. Fun to drink now." James Suckling
