Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Balciana shows an intense golden yellow color and nuances of golden yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of honey, ripe apricot and almond followed by aromas of quince, cooked pear, peach, saffron, hazelnut, plum, hawthorn, broom, chamomile and pineapple. The mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and pleasing roundness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of apricot, quince and almond. A well made wine.
