Verdicchio di Matelica

White

Riserva

Sourced from the oldest vines in the Fogliano vineyard, located by the winery and planted in 1978, Senex is a rarity – only made in the best years, it has only been bottled a handful of times: 1998, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2015, and now 2018. Two harvests are undertaken, obtaining the best acidity in the first picking and the ripest fruit in the second. Senex spends three years in concrete and around 18 months in bottle. It's leesy and creamy with scents of green apple, yellow fruits and apricot skin, and a stony, mineral edge. In the mouth it's at first limey, vibrant and fresh, cutting through some sweet creaminess and spices. Stony and peachy on the mid-palate, it becomes incredibly saline and gum-tingling on the long finish.
