Bucci Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore 2023

Vinification and élevage take place in an underground cellar that naturally maintains cool temperatures, eliminating the need for artificial cooling. Fermentation and aging occur in a combination of stainless steel, large Slavonian oak barrels, and 25–40 hL Allier oak barrels for reds like Pongelli, while the white wines mature in even larger 50–75 hL vessels.

This wine in particular is aged only in stainless steel. It's a very fresh, bright wine but the grape itself and the older vines lean toward a more rounded texture and a medium to medium heavy body weight. 

Each Verdicchio vineyard (there are several) is vinified separately, then blended with precision according to the vintage to maintain vintage-to-vintage quality. Bucci Verdicchio is so complex and structured that bottling often occurs very late, usually from June to August for the regular, thus ensuring excellent natural stability and longevity.
