Showing great complexity this wine deserves to be pondered over
Riserva on the label tells you that this is a serious Verdicchio that has a bit more breadth and complexity than the average. In this instance that little bit extra comes from over two years spent on the lees, which has imparted an enormous amount of flavour to the wine. The result is a honeyed, hazelnut, tropical-fruit flavoured wine with a fine backbone of acidity. It has fabulous ageing potential but will drink very well now with vegetable-based pasta dishes, fish and poultry.

Barone Pizzini is one of the oldest and best-known wineries in the tiny Franciacorta region in northern Italy, near Milano. In early 2000 Barone Pizzini extended its work beyond Franciacorta's borders into some of Italy's finest wine districts with their indigenous grapes: in the Maremma with Poderi di Ghiaccioforte, in Salento with Tenuta del Barco and in the heart of Castelli di Jesi with Pievalta. All Barone Pizzini vineyards, whether in Franciacorta, Tuscany, the Marches or Apulia, are cultivated with organic growing methods, adopted as guarantees of quality, typical characteristics and healthiness.
