Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is a dry white wine from Marche that is produced from 85% Verdicchio grapes. Although both are made with the same blend of grapes, the lesser-known Verdicchio di Matelica is considered superior to the more widespread Castelli di Jesi.


Both wines can also come as a spumante (sparkling) and passito (sweet) wine, but the predominant style is a still dry wine that has a crispy, lemony taste, with intense and fragrant aromas and high acidity. Castelli di Jesi can be consumed young, but it can also benefit from aging, which gives it a great balance of taste.


Its citrusy nature pairs well with fish, seafood, light appetizers, or poultry.
