There's a beautiful yet refreshing style to this classy Verdicchio. Subdued citrus and fresh pear notes are enhanced by inviting salinity that carries over to the palate. There's good weight here as well which acts as a nice balance to the bright, mineral tones.
Andrea Felici Description
The fruit is from 10 hectares of various vineyards on the Felici farm, from 10- to 40-year-old vines. The vineyards are between 500 and 600m above sea level; Leo's vineyard site at 600m is the highest in the appellation.
Harvest was in late September/early October at yields of 11,000kg/ha (about 60hl/ha).
Fermentation is in concrete vats and stainless steel tanks. About half the harvest is macerated a few days on the skins during fermentation. Malolactic fermentation does not take place. Aged on its lees for 6 to 12 months, with six staggered bottlings taking place.
