To the west of The Castle of Barbara, on the top of a hill, surrounded by vineyards and caressed by the mellow sunset light, there was a little church with dazzling white plaster baroques. There by its side stood a towering pine with a rounded mane of foliage, known in local lore as the 'Pignocco'. The vineyards are located close to the Pignocco and the Verdicchio grapes are delicately pressed, ensuring that only the finest of the finest of the must is drawn off. Fermentation is carefully controlled, giving this 'Cru' its characteristic bouquet. It is left to mature through the winter, then bottled to heighten its distinctive aroma. This verdicchio is a delicate straw yellow colour with a distinctive rich bouquet, it has rich round flavours, good balancing acidity culminating in an enjoyable finish. (12 x 75 cl)

This can stand shoulder to shoulder with any other Verdicchio around. A herbal, pungent and intense nose gives way to a big, firm, muscular palate that can accompany a good range of dishes. (6 x 75 cl)

A fresh, fruity, easy-drinking white wine

The Bucci family have been involved in viticulture in the classic Castelli di Jesi zone of the Marche for over three centuries. Today they tend some 21 hectares of vineyards, sited mainly around the village of Montecarotto, using wholly organic methods. A combination of low yields in the vineyards and meticulous vinification, results in wines of memorable intensity and power. Deep, straw gold colour, the wine has an intense bouquet of apricots and honey with mineral notes. The palate is rich and well-structured with a ripe, almost viscous mouth feel and lively 'Citrus' acidity. (12 x 75 cl)
