Verdicchio Classico 2012

The Santarelli estate produces three basic Verdicchio wines, this stock wine, Tralivio and their unusual  Balciana (at times, nature permitting, made with grapes with Botrytis cinerea. They also produce a Verdicchio passito dessert wine and a bubbly. This has a bouquet of menthol, aromatic herbs, green apple, citrus peel and a typical note of anise. The mouthfeel is young but promising, with a copious acidity and a characteristic almond and pungent finish.
