Founded in 1983 by the visionary Ampelio Bucci, Villa Bucci turned Verdicchio into one of the world’s most collectible white wines. In 2024, the Veronesi family - founders of the OniverseGroup and champions of Italian craftsmanship - acquired the estate, carrying Bucci’s pioneering spirit into a new era. Together, they’re preserving everything that made Villa Bucci iconic: old vines, organic farming, and that haunting, Burgundian depth of flavor.*
The wines are still made slowly in the underground cellar, fermented naturally, and aged in 70-year-old Slavonian oak barrels that whisper complexity, not wood. Ampelio Bucci remains the estate’s guiding light, ensuring that every bottle stays true to its roots while embracing a new generation’s creativity. The result is pure Verdicchio poetry — structured, mineral, and unforgettable, the kind of wine that proves Italy’s future still begins in its oldest vineyards.*
The 2024 Villa Bucci Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico has aromas of citrus zest and green apples, chamomile, and white flowers. The palate is medium-bodied, with flavors of Golden Delicious apples, lemons, almonds, anise, and subtle mineral undertones that reflect the region's limestone-rich terroir. The wine is infused with vibrant acidity that brings it to a long and mouthwatering finish.

92 points, Decanter:
"Tropical pear, white blossom and ripe peach aromas; juicy stone fruit and zesty lemon carry through to a bone-dry, savory frame. Bright acidity, peppery spice, confident concentration and food-friendly length."
