Verdicchio

Verdicchio is one of Italy's classic white grape varieties, responsible for the much-vaunted Verdicchios - di Matelica and Castelli dei Jesi. Less famously, it is also often used as a high quality component for many Italian white blends from regions such as Marche and Umbria, to name just two. It has high natural acidity, a delicious 'full' texture and displays concentrated citrus and green fruit flavours in better examples.
