點擊次數(shù)：7233

The top of the line Verdicchio Classico Riserva Villa Bucci is made from the estate’s oldest vines and aged in cask. It is a rich, full-bodied style of Verdicchio defined by a honeyed, lush quality to its ripe fruit. The 2005 reveals excellent persistence on the palate, if not quite the clarity and vibrancy of the finest vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900

Here’s a Riserva Verdicchio with very enjoyable layers of intensity and complexity. Aromas include mature peach, cantaloupe melon, almond nut and butterscotch. The wine’s texture is full and dense and it offers a soft, palate-pleasing finish.——M.L.(3/1/2009)—— 87
