White Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva San Sisto shows a brilliant golden yellow color and nuances of straw yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas that start with hints of apple, vanilla and almond followed by aromas of peach, plum, hazelnut, hawthorn, pear, honey, butter, citrus fruits, pineapple and mineral. The mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of apple, plum, almond and pineapple. A well made wine.
