2014 La Monacesca Verdicchio di Matelica

We couldn't be more pleased to offer the wines of Aldo Cifola whose white wines rank among Italy's finest. Even in a challenging vintage like 2014, his Verdicchio is exceptional. It opens with scents of dried honey, soft citrus fruit and saline, and follows with a round, creamy palate of ripe mineral-driven lemon fruit and a long finish thanks to ample, bright acidity. Cifola harvests later than most other producers (which explains the wine's golden tinted color) yet is able to obtain oenological ripeness while preserving mouthwatering acidity. World-class Verdicchio. Seafood, vegetables, eggs and mild pastas with this one.
