This Verdicchio di Jesi DOC Superiore from Santa Barbara shows an essential, straightforward profile, suited to those seeking a daily but well-made white. It has a straw-yellow color with slight greenish highlights; on the nose there are notes of green apple, citrus and white flowers, while a hint of bitter almond and a mineral thread help define the personality without weighing it down. The body is medium, with clear freshness and a balance that favors drinkability.

On the palate, salinity and acidity integrate in a controlled way, providing pleasant fluidity and medium-length persistence. It pairs with light preparations of fish, mollusks and shellfish, savory vegetable dishes and fresh cheeses, but also works well for informal gatherings. The finish retains citrus echoes and a subtle almond note that invites another sip. Serving temperature around 10–12 °C; best enjoyed young for its expressive clarity and clean aromatics.

Winery history

Production philosophy
Passion and innovation, respect for the land and grapes. The estate often makes experimental yet drinkable wines: “to make the wine that I like first of all, a wine for the drinker.” Organic practices are used for some labels, including Back to Basics.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Barbara (province of Ancona), Marche. Vineyards on hills around 260 m a.s.l.; clayey soils, northwest exposure. Appellation: Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi (DOC).
