Andrea Felici Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore

Grown in the foothills of the Apennine Mountains at elevation that compares with neighboring Matelica, Andrea Felici Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore is vibrant, aromatic and complex. Felici’s primary focus is growing exceptional fruit. He farms organically and biodynamically and harvests by hand. In the cellar, Felici vinifies with native yeasts in stainless to highlight aromatics and mineral character, then ages on the lees for three months for texture and richness. The result is a Verdicchio with Chablis-like character that turns heads and wins awards year after year.
