From older vines (35 years) and a cooler plot with two years of ageing, the "Vertis" is a clear step up in class. Pale straw-yellow with a bright glint it offers more delicate aromas of white peach, white flowers, green apple skin, and a sharper mineral vein. The palate courses with tension from the weight and mineral drive. Incredibly persistent and precise. Easily top of the class for Verdicchio and certainly one not to miss. Dare I say this wine has some parallels to old school Chablis with similar weight and minerality. Definite cellar potential - 5-10yrs.
