Casal di Serra Vecchie Vigne
Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore
first year of production 2001

The old vines were planted in the early 70s, and their particular position and fine balance between fruit and leaf growth means that the grapes can be harvested when they have reached a slight degree of over-ripeness. The wine is aged over a long period, first in concrete tanks in contact with the native yeasts and subsequently in bottle, and that gives this cru its particular fullness and brings out the typical Verdicchio character.

Winemaker’s notes

The magnificent colour, brilliant golden yellow with lively greenish tints, and sumptuous oiliness anticipate an amble bouquet of juniper, camomile, ripe apricot, pineapple and peach, with pleasant overtones of wild mint, sage and hazel.
In the mouth, it is striking for its elegance: dry and fresh with an acidity which is balanced perfectly by the softness of the alcohol.
Long, pungent finish.
