Introduction
The 2022 Tenuta dell’Ugolino Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi “Le Piaole” is a stunning example of Verdicchio from the Marche region in Italy. This wine captures the variety’s classic expression with bright acidity, refreshing minerality, and layers of citrus and floral notes. Known for its terroir-driven approach, Tenuta dell’Ugolino offers a Verdicchio that is both versatile and refined.

Terrior
The Castelli di Jesi area in Marche, Italy, is renowned for its unique microclimate and limestone-rich clay soils, which contribute to the distinct minerality and structure of Verdicchio. The area’s inland location with proximity to the Adriatic Sea provides warm days and cool nights, which help maintain acidity and develop complex aromas in the grapes.

Appearance
A pale straw yellow with slight green reflections, this wine is bright and clear, showing a youthful freshness.

Nose
Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach greet the nose, with hints of acacia flowers, almond, and a subtle saline minerality that is typical of the region.

Palate
The palate is crisp and medium-bodied, with flavors of citrus, pear, and green apple. The wine’s minerality is pronounced, providing a chalky texture balanced by vibrant acidity. Delicate notes of almond and a touch of fennel add depth and complexity, giving it an elegant and refreshing profile.

Finish
The finish is long and clean, with lingering notes of citrus, almond, and a refreshing saline quality that leaves a lasting impression.

Overall Impression
The 2022 Tenuta dell’Ugolino Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi “Le Piaole” is an outstanding representation of Italian Verdicchio, showcasing both structure and finesse. Its bright acidity and mineral depth make it ideal for pairing with seafood, pasta with cream sauces, or light Mediterranean dishes, and it’s equally enjoyable as a sophisticated aperitif.
