Casal di Serra Vecchie Vigne Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore 2022

A faint, zesty lift of fresh citrus oil sets the stage for an explosion of orchard fruits, crisp Macintosh apples and sweet Seckel pears. The flavors come alive with preserved lemon and a salty, mineral edge, like licking a rock. Tart, electric acidity keeps it zippy and refreshing, making this Verdicchio both lively and energetic. Score – 94. (Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, July 1, 2025)
