Vinous Media (91)- "Once again, I find myself thoroughly enjoying another Verdicchio; this time, it’s the 2019 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Back to Basics. This makes an amazing first impression, with its stunning golden color in the glass and spicy, wickedly fresh bouquet that mixes dusty flowers, incense, almonds and dried nectarines. It envelopes the palate in silken character, complemented by a pleasant inner sweetness, as mineral and ginger-tinged apple gives way to pretty inner florals and hints of honey. The mouth waters through the medium-length finale; savory, even salty, yet with a contrasting nuance of peach preserves that seals the deal."
Vinous Media (91)- "The 2018 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Back to Basics is remarkably pretty and floral, showing hints of honied apple, kiwi and sweet herbal tea leaves. Oily textures, hosting ripe stone fruits and inner florals, are placed into sharper focus, as juicy acids maintain balance; yet I can’t help but feel that there may be some small amount of residual sugar here. Nevertheless, the Back to Basics is truly impressive, coming across as mouthwatering and fun with all of the textbook Verdicchio tension and minerality that we crave."
James Suckling (90)- "A juicy, apple and pear style with limes building into the palate. Decent freshness. Drink now. "
