Accattoli Verdicchio 2005, D.O.C. Verdicchio di Matelica . **HERITAGE WINE**
Colour:
light yellow with some green.
Nose:
quite expressive, fresh, with richness and a wealth of subtle, ripe and
clean impressions of pine apple, apple, a touch of yeast, ginger, fennel,
some herbs and beautiful minerals, some depth, refined and with excellent
balance.
Taste:
quite full bodied, round, but also fresh, some alcohol, a piquant acidity,
matching the other components, nice fruit and richness with an attractive
bitterness providing tension and character, very clean style, excellent
balance.
Finish:
long, quite intense, fanning out, fresh, clean, with an attractive (mild)
bitterness, many mineral nuances, some spices and herbs, subtle impressions
of almonds and white fruit, good balance.
* A very attractive dry white
wine with good and interesting regional character, a delicious freshness,
nice richness and intensity, beautiful white fruit, minerals, a touch of
nuts and herbs, very pure and clean style, excellent balance, great value
for (little) money.
- Drink this wine somewhere between now and 2007, maybe 2008.
- This wine shows how modern
technique and terroir can make a winning combination in the hands of a
devoted and capable wine producer. It shows regional character needs not
to be sacrificed for attractiveness and consumer appeal. This very affordable
wine (from the Marche region) has everything one would expect of a modern
wine with the extra bonus of a unique style. Never could one make such
a wine from e.g. Chardonnay, the aroma's of the regional Verdicchio grape
are beautifully highlighted. The fruit, but also mineral and herb like
and almondy impressions give this wine its interesting character that is
ideal to complement both rich and lighter fish dishes. It is only matured
in stainless vats hence the young and fresh style.
If you like Chardonnay but
want something else, more exiting perhaps, try this wine and let it open
for you a new and rich world of taste experiences beyond the oceans of
well produced wines of already (too) famous grapes and wine regions.
