Santa Barbara - Barbara, Marche
Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Le Vaglie, D.O.C.
100% Verdicchio grape. This wine, another in an outstanding series of Verdicchio wines from Stefano Antonucci, comes from a vineyard site of the same name. Le Vaglie, a silver medal winner at the 2000 International Wine Challenge, comes from soft pressed grapes with the must fermented in stainless steel and then aged in an assortment of wooden barrels until spring. Refined in the bottle, this aging gives the wine great structure as well as elegance. The wine has a bright pale-greenish yellow color with a slight tinge of gold. The nose is spicy with minerals and ripe fruits. The palate is ample and round yet subtle.
