Description
What type of wine it is
Villa Bucci's Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva is a structured and complex organic white wine, a perfect expression of the Marche region. Produced exclusively from Verdicchio grapes, this wine falls under the prestigious Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva denomination, distinguishing itself for its extraordinary ageing potential. On the palate, it is full and harmonious, with remarkable persistence supported by an elegant bouquet of spices and flint. The vinification involves skilful maturation in wood, which enriches the flavour profile while keeping the freshness and identity of the grape variety intact.
Origin
This famous white wine originates in Ostra Vetere, in the province of Ancona, in the historic heart of the Marche. The area is part of the renowned classic Verdicchio production zone, a territory historically suited to the cultivation of this native grape variety thanks to ideal soil and climate conditions. The Villa Bucci winery manages its vineyards following a rigorous organic approach, which respects the peculiarities of the soil and the local ecosystem. This constant dedication to the land allows for the harvesting of excellent quality grapes, capable of faithfully reflecting the authentic oenological expression of the area of origin.
How it is produced
The production of the wine follows rigorous and meticulous procedures to encourage a long evolution over time. Following a careful harvest of the grapes and subsequent fermentation, the wine undergoes a significant maturation period. It rests for at least eighteen months in Slavonian oak barrels, a fundamental technical step that enriches the structure without overpowering the primary aromas of the grape. Subsequently, the process concludes with an extensive ageing in the bottle for at least one year, essential for ensuring a perfect balance and an elegant aromatic development.
History and curiosities
Born in Ostra Vetere, this renowned Verdicchio Classico Riserva embodies the pioneering vision of Villa Bucci, an estate founded in 1983 to promote the namesake native grape variety. Led by the expert oenologist Gianni Gasperi, for decades the company has adopted an approach dedicated solely to organic white wine, respecting the unique characteristics of the soil in the Marche region. The imposing elegance of the 2022 vintage, enhanced by a precious maturation in oak, was awarded ninety-two points by James Suckling, thus confirming its exceptional and historic vocation.
