Eclissi di Luglio Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore
This wine is generally light- to medium-bodied with lively acidity and a balanced, elegant structure. The Classico Superiore designation indicates stricter production standards and greater concentration than standard Verdicchio, often resulting in more structure and aging potential. The style emphasizes freshness, aromatic clarity, and food-friendly balance.
Winemaking process
The wine is produced from Verdicchio grown in the Castelli di Jesi area around Staffolo. Vinification focuses on preserving freshness and varietal character, typically using temperature-controlled fermentation and clean cellar practices to highlight fruit and mineral expression.
Tasting notes
It typically shows aromas of fresh fruit such as green apple and tropical fruit with floral hints and a characteristic almond finish. On the palate, the wine is dry, fresh, and mineral-driven with a slightly bitter almond aftertaste typical of Verdicchio and a clean, persistent finish.
Food pairings
This Verdicchio pairs well with seafood, shellfish, crustaceans, mollusks, and light Mediterranean dishes. Its acidity and freshness also make it suitable as an aperitif or with vegetable dishes and lighter pasta preparations.
