Elegant, complex, mineral with an almond note in the finish. A nice Verdicchio that drinks well now but has potential to age very well

This pure Verdicchio is the authentic expression of one of the native white grape varieties that best represents the history of Marche enology.
The soft pressing preserves the aromas and acidity of the must; the subsequent spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, monitored daily, guarantees the respect and exaltation of the varietal characteristics. Verdicchio Casa Lucciola is characterized by a bouquet of floral notes of mimosa, dandelion and melon; soon a refined mineral-sulphur opens up which gives it personality and fabric. On the palate it immediately denotes good structure and sapidity with a soft texture. Final of exotic fruit and anise. Satin cap. Bottling May 2021

Wine description
Description of the wine
The wine has fresh, well-defined primary aromas of medium intensity, characterized by green and citrus fruits, enhanced by a note of fresh aromatic grass (dill). On the palate the wine stands out more than on the nose, with a medium and well integrated alcohol content, a refreshing acidity, slightly more intense aromas and a marked minerality. The good balance between fruit and acidity [freshness], the good integration of alcohol and an almond finish with a certain persistence undoubtedly characterize it as a "good" wine.
