| 75 | | | 89 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | The Marshes, or Marche, are one of Italy’s 20 regions. East of Umbria, the Marche lie on the Adriatic and north of Abruzzo. Verdicchio, meaning a little green, denotes the greenish gold color that’s typical of the grape, including this example. Verdicchio grapes also may be used for sparkling and straw wine (passito), and when well structured can age a decade. This example shows the characteristic good acidity and nuttiness associatead with the grape. On the nose, the nuttiness and fruit characters meld seamlessly, while the palate shows fresh yellow fruits with a slight bitter almond note in the end. Medium- full-bodied, the wine has a clean, mouthwatering acid vein that runs from start to long finish. The palate holds on to the flavors for several minutes. If you plan to cellar some of this, do so at very cool temperatures, about 50-55ºF/10-13ºC, which also is its best serving temperature. Use a medium-sized tulip-shaped glass. Lots of foods will pair well with this wine: light antipasti; creamy pastas with pesto and seafood; risotto with seafood and saffron; chicken braised with onions and stock; butternut squash ravioli with butter and fresh herbs; grilled chicken apple sausage; veal or chicken stew; chicken salad with yellow fruits.
