Pronounced Marshay this region of Italy has long been regarded as good wine value. In the inexpensive wine section they have a wine known as the Exclamation. A cute label of Exclamation mark with pertinent info on the label.
Verdicchio light green color, very crisp slight almond on the finish, done in stainless steel but with a little malolactic fermentation on the finish.
Casal di Serra Verdicchio Classico Superiore 06 Very creamy for this varietal. a touch of citrus, spectator gave it great press. In Italy Classico describes the best region for growing that grape in the region.Superiore usually implies a little more alcohol and more stringent regulations for the vines and harvest.
Montelpulciano d'Abruzzo dusty on the nose. a touch of earth on the palate. roundness on the tongue...I would say it is a flavor of Umami..that round texture feeling of mashed potatoes..not really a taste..just very pleasant.
San Lorenzo Rosso Conero corked...too bad
Cumaro Rosso Conero DOCG made from Montepulciano with some Sangiovese all barique aged. dark color. a huge tannic wine for this area.. with a faint english walnut on the end. very nice wine.
Le Busche which I wonder if that means German in Italian... a blend of Verdicchio and Chardonnay..whats interesting is this is a 2003 and still fresh and viable. We have the presumption that older white wine will not be good or tired. This wine had a golden hue to it with toasty notes and creamy finish. what in the business is known as a hand sell.
