Grape

Verdicchio

Origin
Monte Schiavo are a large cooperative group. The fruit is sourced from over 35 growers, and the quality is usually superb. Verdicchio is the signature wine from the Marche region on the Adriatic coast, and is one of the prime examples of a fresh, summery Italian white.
Taste
With pure citrus fruit, especially pineapple and lime, and a refreshing crisp finish, the palate is left invigorated after drinking this wine.
Enjoy
This is the quintessential Italian white wine. Perfect as a party wine or for outdoor drinking (preferably in the sun).

    Delicious

    Highly recommended. Very good aperitif wine or with mezze, light snacks. Outstanding value at the reduced price.

    Verdicchio under screwcap

    Classic example of the relatively little known Verdicchio grape. From the Le Marche region, on the Adriatic coast of Italy (opposite side of the country to Tuscany), comes this excellent wine. Verdicchio goes so well with chicken and seafood dishes from the area but also has enough body and structure to cope with much heartier food. If you have not tried the variety before then get down to your local Majestic and get some of this, it will not dissapoint. It is also good to see it under screwcap as most Italian wines, white and red, are still sticking to traditional cork for their bottle closure. In my opinion the whites especially would benefit from more screwcaps.

    Benchmark Verdicchio

    Its hard to understand why Pinot Grigio is so popular when this is available at a similar price.One of my house whites and also worth trying in its other variations from the same producer - Pallio di San Floriano etc. Very versatile and good as an aperitif.

    Excellent Italian Wine

    This is a lovely fresh and fruity wine which goes down very well as an aperitif or with a meal such as a salmon dish. Highly recommended.

    Very acceptable wine.

    A very pleasant wine. Easy on the palate. I find I can drink this wine just on its own. No pretentious food requirements or any other "wine snob" requirements. A nice enjoyable wine.

Press Reviews

  • Ideal for all kinds of seafood and shellfish dishes (2010 vintage)

    "Another Italian, this time from Le Marche, on the Adriatic coast, which gives it a distinctly salty, citric tang to add to the crisp and elegant dryness that is characteristic of this lovely grape. A reasonable amount of body makes it ideal for all kinds of seafood and shellfish dishes – although nothing too spicy or garlicky – as well as light white meats. (Terry Kirby, INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, 21st August 2011)"
