The 2023 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Ruviano is savory in style, offering crushed rocks, wild herbs and ripe yellow apples. Silky-smooth yet full of zesty tension, this cascades across the palate with tart orchard fruits and sour citrus tones. The 2023 finishes long and saline. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024) — a year ago

Probably my favorite Valpolicella producer after Quintarelli (and maybe Monti dei Ragni.) Elegant and mouth-filling. — 5 years ago

Mineral, light citrus and florals aroma. Bright acidity, tangy tongue feel. The wine shined the next day. — 2 years ago

My first experience with a Friulian Pignolo...Wow..what a simply perfect pasta/pizza wine. Nice bright berry red color... medium weight on the palate...smoke, BlackBerry fruit, sweet red fruit and brilliant lively acidity...perfect foil to red tomato sauce and sausage pizza. Only problem being that the balance, refreshment quotient, and cravability mean a single 750 is not enough. Lost the battle w/wife for last swallow! What a great bargain for Saturday night red sauce! — 5 years ago
