Borgo Paglianetto Verdicchio di Matelica 'Terravignata' '16

This mature Verdicchio from Matelica's high-altitude vineyards offers a complex nose of preserved lemon, honey, and toasted almonds with emerging petrol notes. The palate is rich yet vibrant, with flavors of quince, marzipan, and a distinctive saline minerality that scored 94 points. Aged 24 months on lees in stainless steel, it finishes with incredible length and stony precision. At peak drinking now, this white demonstrates Verdicchio's remarkable aging potential - pair with lobster thermidor or truffle dishes to experience Marche's noble white at its finest.
