This stuff rocks! If you love crisp, fresh, complex and delicious white wine, you NEED to grab a bottle of this. Five years ago, Gambero Rosso picked the Misco as Italy's #1 White Wine of the Year. This new release is simply stunning, and the price is still fantastic!

Decanter: 95 Points

(3/31/2022) "Run since 2021 by Ondine de la Feld, whose uncle Stefano Aymerich di Laconi acquired the 230ha estate in 1973 with his wife Beatrice Lucangeli, Tavignano has been certified organic since 2018. It lies at 300m near Cingoli on a hill that commands an all-round view of the surrounding area, close to the river Musone. Its best parcel of Verdicchio vines overlooks the river, the Latin for which, 'Miscus', gives its name to the wine. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, where it spends 12 months on its lees followed by a further 18 months in bottle. Fragrant, herbal pineapple and white peach aromas. Ripe and juicy with good freshness still, very clean and shapely. Herbaceous aromas, then citrus and mineral flavours. Very pure, clean and balanced. Very complete and complex Verdicchio, fine combination of crisp, fresh fruit, some nutty hints and a mineral undertow. Drinking well now, with the potential for several years yet."

Vinous: 92 Points

(10/2021) "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. Drinking Window: 2021 - 2026."
