Like cracking open fresh sea shells on the shore of the Adriatic, the 2020 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Tralivio lifts from the glass with a perfumed mix of wild herbs, wet stones, cracked slate and nuances of young peach. While silky in texture, this is savory and precise, salty even, with notes of sour apple and melon complemented by hints of raw almond. The 2020 finishes lightly structured with a reverberation of tension, pinching at the cheeks with a lemony concentration.
