ColleStafano, Verdicchio di Matelica DOC 2007 Minerality and stones fruits come out in the nose. The mouth is refreshing and fruity like peaches with the acidity of a lemon – nice. The grapes are organically grown. Estate bottled in Castelraimondo 13% $15.99 at Traverso’s ColleStefano
Belisario, Verdicchio di Matelica DOC, Vigneti del Cerro 2005 Tasted last in 2007, I wondered if the fruit had botrytis. The expected acidity was there with a filled-out palate and development of complexity. Again in the fall of 2008 it I swear there’s a sense of botrytis – honey for sure. The mouthfeel is luscious with a much softer acid profile than in the more taut ColleStafano. P&B in Matelica 13% $25 at Traverso’s
