A wine like this proves that Verdicchio, if made right, has staying power. At five years of age it’s showing no signs of tiring. The nose is rich and sensuous, offering a load of dried apricot and peach. The mouth is round and full, with white stone fruits, salt, nuts and white pepper. A classy and full-bodied white from the Marche. ——M.S.(8/1/2004)—— 90
