Sartarelli Passito Verdicchio Castelli di Jesi Classico - 2022 (500ml)

90 points Vinous

The 2022 Verdicchio Passito is a deep golden color with amber hues. The nose opens with a spicy blend of dried flowers, fermented ginger and mentholated herbs. The palate presents a lovely inner sweetness propelled by zesty acidity. It turns toward the savory spectrum as saline minerals and exotic spices complicate its core of apricot and nectarine. The 2022 tapers off long and with a bitter tinge. Raw almond and yellow apple suggestions slowly fade. - Eric Guido May 2024
