2016 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Il Cantico della Figura, Andrea Felici

2016 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Il Cantico della Figura, Andrea Felici

Ref: FELI160
White  |  Still  |  12.5% ABV

“Leopardo Felici has a great hand with the Verdicchio grape, producing two of the Marche’s best white wines. Clearly,the vineyard location in the cool-climate, hilly area between Apiro and Cupramontana is a big help, as the wines have high natural acidity, a strong mineral overlay and wonderful clarity. But strong viticultural and winemaking skills also play a role. Felici is one of the few producers of “vino biologico” in Italy talented enough to avoid making wines with offputting aromas, and his decision not to use oak (only stainless steel and cement vats are used) also contributes to the precision of the wines. Andrea Felici is a name to watch in Italian wine circles.”  Ian d'Agata, Vinous, July 2015

Only two wines are produced here, both from the Verdicchio grape grown high on breezy limestone slopes where temperature fluctuations between night and day bring freshness and energy to the wines. No oak is employed here, only stainless steel and cement.

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
