Casaleta Castijo Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico DOC 2024

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico DOC Castijo is a white wine from Casaleta, made from Verdicchio. The grapes come from old Verdicchio biotypes grown in a vineyard of over seventy years in the Marche hinterland. The sandy and clayey soil, altitude and relative proximity to the sea give intact, ripe bunches, harvested by hand and carried to the cellar in small crates. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature, then the wine rests for six months in steel tanks and a further six months in bottle. It suits seafood dishes, baked fish, spaghetti with clams and amberjack with aromatic herbs. On the nose, vegetal and fruity aromas, walnut husk, aromatic herbs, basil and golden apples stand out. The palate offers freshness balanced by good structure and notable minerality, with a long, savoury and almond-like finish.
