Brunori - "Le Gemme" Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi 2023 (750ml)

Tasting Notes: In the glass, the wine has a medium deep, honeyed green-gold color. When the wine is first poured, aromas of Fuji apples, white peaches, dried honeycomb, and white flowers give way to pink grapefruit, Persian melons, dried mango, and toasted pine nuts as the nose evolves in the glass. On the palate, the wine is juicy and full-bodied, with plenty of dry extract, deep saline minerality, and beautifully integrated citric acidity. The layered sweet core of dried honey, lemon zest, almonds, and fresh butter is seasoned with delicate bitterness, and the long elegant finish is punctuated with briny minerality. This is a perfect wine for seafood, including marine fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, and texturally, the wine is akin to white Burgundy, so it’s also wonderful alongside a roasted chicken.
