The Tavignano winery produces a mere 8,000 cases of wine a year. Most is dedicated to their prized Verdicchio, the best of which comes from the Misco vineyard, a small, 3.5 hectare plot. Twenty-five year old vines produce intense, rich fruit. Notes of sweet, green almonds, acacia flowers, star anise and citrus lead into plump peach and apricot flavors. There's bright acidity, for sure, but this baby possesses far more richness and than is typical of the grape, and especially the price!
To pair? If you're feeling adventurous, you simply must try stocco all’anconetana, Ancona style stockfish... the local adaption of dried codfish, cooked low and slow with potatoes, tomatoes, herbs, etc. Click on the pic for a recipe. Of course, any hearty fish dish would do, as well as quail, rabbit, chicken or pork. Hmm... grilled, marinated rabbit is absolutely delish! Egg noodles with fresh garden veggies is also a killer match!

“Sweet herbs, wild flowers, ripe apples, pears and hints of almond paste form a dazzling bouquet as the 2020 Verdicchio dei Castello di Jesi Misco blossoms in the glass. It’s seductively soft and soothing to the senses, neatly balancing a pleasant inner sweetness with zests of lime and saline-mineral tones. Savory spices mix with residual acids throughout the long, almost salty, and truly mouthwatering finale. This is absolutely stunning juice, encapsulating remarkable balance within a highly pleasurable package." Vinous
