LA DISTESA, Terre Silvate 2022

From two plots of Verdicchio within the classic Castelli di Jesi zone, one up in the mountains, the other just a few kilometres away. The wine is fermented and aged in old concrete vats, and while the majority is given a direct press, around twenty per cent sits on skins for a few days, adding a little grip; six months on lees lends flesh. Clean, nutty and saline, this is a wonderfully versatile wine.
