Marca San Michele 2019 Capovolto Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore
This wine is fresh and bright but has gained complexity with age to the point where it is competing with some of Italy’s best white wines. Aromatically fine and layered, with typical almond, a hint of white flowers, tarragon, fennel, and other green herbs it’s fairly full-bodied and shows no heat (at 13 degrees alcohol); the pleasing vinosity and richness is carried by quite pronounced saline minerality and lively hints of fresh lime. All in all this is a perfect moment for this lovely wine. -Jamie Wolff
A truly fantastic wine. On the nose, there is a fresh nuttiness, accented by plush herbs, white blossoms, clementine and apricot. Flavors are generous, and the mouthfeel defies the wine's age. Lemons, orange pith, and zingy white minerals cling to an awesome, filling structure. Great acidity and a little tannin - you lick your gums after you sip it. Powerful wine, and an absolute stand-out at this price point.
