Winemaker Riccardo Baldi is a rising star in Le Marche, known for his exceptional work with the Verdicchio grape. His La Staffa 2020 “Rincrocca” presents a rich golden hue and an effusive bouquet of salty peach, quince, and crushed oyster shell. Its racing acidity, accented by lime zest and bitter almond, balances an exquisite, creamy texture with a long finish. Like a fine Chablis, this wine is a natural choice with oysters or rich, creamy dishes that demand a high-acid counterpart.
