Located on Italy’s eastern slopes, Verdicchio dei Castelli de Jesi is known for its bright acidity and herbaceous finish. Marchetti’s Tenuta del Cavaliere is an excellent example with classically crisp acidity and bits of bitter wax and almond notes to compliment its melon, pear, and lime zest fruit. The wine’s body lends itself to both summer and fall food options. Pair this wine with seafood or light savory dishes.
