Tucked away in the Marche region off the Adriatic Coast, Matelica is located inland at high elevations. Verdicchio enjoys a long history here and as part of Riboli’s new imported line, this wine speaks well of the region. Its aroma offers lovely ripe apricot, stone fruit, and citrus along with a telltale hint of almonds. It is crisp and lively in its flavors with lots of citrus and the finish is long and savory. Well-structured but not aggressively acidic, it begs to be served with seafood.
