Umani Ronchi, Verdicchio Dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore (Marche, Italy) 2017

 An entirely charming, delightful wine that never tries too hard, this shows delicious fruit recalling ripe autumn pears with a refreshing spritz of lemon.  A streak of minerality shows up in the finish to lend added interest, and the wine remains interesting sip after sip on account of its essentially perfect balance of juicy fruitiness and fresh acidic structure.  Pair with lighter fare such as oysters or fish, or you could simply enjoy it as a sipping wine.  However, be careful if you try to use a single bottle for both of these purposes, because sipping it before dinner will almost surely result in the wine never making it to the table.
