Excellently succulent. Great mix of dry and subtly fruity. Like dried fruit set in butter. — 2 months ago

One of the most reliable and affordable Verdicchio producer. It used to make just the one label you see here, but now they make another one from young vines and a rose if i am right.
I love the mineral expression of Matelica.
This came from a magnum. It was sensational, too easy too drink. It went so quickly you could miss what you were drinking and you could go back and keep asking...what was it? What was it?what was it?...and on and on and on....
I reckon when people think of a stereotype of good Italian wine this is what we should think of..at least i wish...Cheers!!! — 2 months ago

it has high alcohol, but i feel cool nuance, because it has sharp acidiy and lifted aromas. Well balanced and enjoyable classic Syrah beauty. — 5 years ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 1998 pours a deep garnet/purple with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with positively charming notes of plum, brambles, grilled Poblano pepper, pipe tobacco, dried mixed flowers, a mix of organic and inorganic earth, fine wood and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. This is about as traditional as it gets and was simply brilliant tonight. Squarely in the zone. Drink now through 2038+. — a month ago
Cheapest reserva for lunch at Mercatos. Bold red, between new word Pinot and old world. Fruity. — 2 months ago
Wish I could decant this. Oak on the nose, but it hints at the fruit and tobacco/chocolate you're about to taste. Palate has noticeable but not assertive tannins and blends really nicely with the aforementioned flavors. Paired well with dinner but this feels like a pre-dinner sipper. Would buy again. — 5 months ago
What a delightful wine! Bright and racy, and with a mineral tang that made it absolutely perfect with sushi. — 6 months ago
