Ori di Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Pontemagno

Full-fat Verdicchio from the Marche. That is also possible!

Not only we at WijnclubAmsterdam, but our fellow citizen Harold Hamersma, is also lyrical about the Ori di Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Pontemagno: We just quote him here: “In the scent you smell intense aromas of ripe apples, honey and citrus fruit. In addition, there is much more depth to the scent. Ripe grapes first. Harvested late. Gentle pressing. Own yeasts. Fully ripe yellow fruit, cream rolls, vanilla custard, padded boudoir, talcum powder, almond paste. Serve with pasta with creamy sauce, chicken with creamy sauce or creamy sauce with creamy sauce.” Well, you can use extra cream in the sauce! That is clear here.

The finish is long, longer, longest… The Ori di Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore is the ultimate food wine. In Amsterdam, this wine is on the menu in Breda restaurant. We recommend it with a Vitello Tonnato. The tuna sauce matches the structure of the wine beautifully.

Clearly also something roasted, vanilla, caramel, honey. A beautiful palette of scents that indicates the beautiful complexity of this wine. As the wine warms up in your glass, the scents become even more intense. The taste is full, generous and slightly creamy. Fortunately, the wine has enough acidity to maintain the tension. The great taste is not only because the winemaker uses only the best grape bunches, but also because this wine is matured for a long time, part of which is in wood! The Ori di Verdicchio is a wine of the sur lie type. This means that the wine is partly raised on its own yeast cells. By keeping the wine in contact with the yeast cells for a long time after fermentation, the wine gets some extra thickness and structure.

The Ori di Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Pontemagno is the big brother of the Bachero verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. This is a beautiful full wine with a beautiful dark golden yellow color. Made from the best grapes and matured in new oak. So it always comes onto the market a little later.
