Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Misco Tenuta di Tavignano 2021
Tenuta di Tavignano
This wine is made from Verdicchio grapes and matured on the lees for six months in stainless steel vats.
It has a bright colour with light green reflections. Notes of green almonds, acacia flowers, star anise and citrus on the nose lead into white peach and apricot flavours. This is a phenomenal Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi produced in one of the top winery in le Marche region: Tenuta di Tavignano.
There's bright acidity and a good lenght, also the wine has a very pleasant richness. You should definitely try it with 'Stocco all’Anconetana', Ancona style stockfish... a local adaption of dried codfish, cooked low and slow with potatoes, tomatoes and herbs. Misco would do well also with chiken or rabbit.

The 2021 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco offers a minimalist read of the grape with very fresh and focused aromas of white flower, cut grass, freshly squeezed grapefruit and a hint of white pepper. The wine completes a quick 12 months in stainless steel to obtain these very clean results. There is a zesty, electric quality to the finish. Production is 40,000 bottles. This wine was made in 2021, but a Riserva was not made because of the very hot weather.

This four-hectare cru facing the river spends 12 months on the lees without batonnage in stainless steel tanks, giving intense and fresh apple and lemon characters accompanied by floral scents and subtle spice. Soft and smooth, there's a touch of leesy creaminess underlining orange peel and juicy pineapple, peach and baked apple flavours. White pepper notes emerge on the long finish.

Marche
Marche is a region on the eastern side of central Italy. It stretches over a triangle delimited by the Apennine Mountains to the west and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Thanks to the various climates created by the influences of the Apennines, the Adriatic and the region’s rivers (the Metauro, Potenza, Tronto and Nera), wine producers cultivate in both warm and cool viticultural zones. Calcareous, clay and limestone-rich soils contribute to the distinctive terroir. Marche is best known as a white-wine region, although it is also home to some high quality reds. The principal white varieties here are the ubiquitous Trebbiano and Verdicchio, grapes that have been found in the Marches for over 600 years. The DOCGs Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Verdicchio di Matelica are the finest expressions of Verdicchio. Among the red wines of Marche, the finest are generally made from Montepulciano and Sangiovese, the dark-skinned varieties used in the intensely fragrant Rosso Conero Riserva. and an extensive system of hills descending towards the Adriatic sea.
