Monte Schiavo Ruviano Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2023

This charming, aromatic, fragrant wine has excellent tension and zest on the palate, with engaging notes of apple, citrus and wild herbs. There’s a touch of bitter almond on the close that adds a pleasing complexity. Drink through 2027.[Luca Maroni tasting note not available.] Score – 93. (lucamaroni.com, July 15, 2024)
