Pievalta Tre Ripe Verdicchio Superiore DOC
£15.95
Looking for a tasty white other than Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc? Look no further than this stylish organic and biodynamic Verdicchio from the east coast of central Italy. Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC is the most famous Verdicchio wine, and this DOC from Pievalta has striking citrus fruits with the attractive nutty flavours for which this grape is rightly famous. Steely dry, this wine will sing with simply grilled fish.
Expert Opinion:
- 93 points, Tom Hyland (2021 vintage), ‘Aromas of lime, melon and tea leaf. Medium-full with excellent ripeness, lively acidity, outstanding varietal purity and excellent persistence. There is beautiful harmony and excellent brightness and freshness; the finish offers notes of spearmint and citrus oil. Enjoy over the next 4-5 years, perhaps longer.’
- Gold Medal – International Organic Wine Awards 2016 (2015 vintage)
- 93/100 – Decanter Magazine, ‘Pievalta’s entry-level Verdicchio comes from a warmer, more Adriatic-influenced site than its San Paolo single-vineyard expression. This makes for a richer, more exotic but still savoury and intense wine. Biodynamic. Drink 2017-2020.’ Monty Waldin, Decanter February 2017 (2015 vintage)
- 16.5/20 – JancisRobinson.com, ‘Stony white fruit with a hint of mandarin. Linear lemon palate and then ends on a fine leesy note. Mid length.‘ Walter Speller, August 2016 (2015 vintage)
