2021 Colleleva Verdicchio De Castelli Di Jesi

Call it a palate cleanser, a breath mint, mouth rinse, or whatever you like: Colleleva’s Verdicchio is a thirst quencher on an elemental level, the crisp white wine that always delivers when it’s time to kick off an evening, a reliable workhorse to wash down light meals and provide unconditional refreshment. Zesty and citrusy, with a peppy spritz on the palate, it could be considered the Adriatic’s response to Muscadet. The price makes it all the easier to stock up and gulp down.
