Verdicchio

The Verdicchio wine gets the name from the vine that has been cultivated in the Italian region of Marches on the central east of Italy. This vine is probably native in Marches since the 1300s.

The grapes used to make this wine are yellow-green. The Verdicchio wine is with no doubt the best of the white wines from this region of Italy.

In the market you can find to DOC version of the Verdicchio: Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Verdicchio di Matelica.

Both types usually are composed of Verdicchio and a small part of Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes.

The Verdicchio white wine yields a pale, straw-coloured wine of good acidic balance offering subtle, crisp, clean white fruit flavours and aromas offset by nuances of citrus, almonds and tree blossoms, finishing on a slight bitter note.

This wine can be found in the market with different names such as: Verdone, Marchigiano, Uva Marana.

Should be served at a temperature of 7-9 ° and it's perfect with fish and "risotto with fish". Also it can be approached with white meat.
