Tasting Notes

Mineral-driven and flinty, confit lemon, with a lovely, refreshing salty tang on the finish. Notes of lemon zest and crunchy Granny Smith apples abound.  A wonderful classic Verdicchio that is considered by many top winemakers in Italy to be the best.

More Info

Vigneron Riccardo Baldi is a rising star, according to Decanter magazine. Located in the rolling hills of Staffolo in the north of the Marche region, La Staffa is an organic winery in the heart of the Verdicchio dei Castelli de Jesi appellation. This area is much influenced by its close proximity to the Adriatic, its high elevation and clay and chalk-rich soils that imbue the wines with a distinctive character.  "I often think of the La Staffa Verdicchios as Meursaults in a lineup of Chablis. The wines are all about tension, acidity and minerality, while many other producers rely on fat and fruit to impress. Owner and winemaker Riccardo Baldi tends 12 hectares of vines around the town of Staffolo, growing at 400 to 550 meters through all-organic, verging on biodynamic practices. These are primarily clay soils with a high percentage of calcium carbonate, which Baldi translates beautifully into the finished wines. The best part is that no matter how enjoyable these wines are upon release, they get even better with time. There are no slouches in this portfolio." - Eric Guido, Vinous.com, May 2024

FROM THE PRESS

“Sharp and laser-focused from the start, offers crisp fruit aromas followed by balanced freshness, crushed limestone, freshly cut grass and a salty mineral layer. These elements play off each other nicely, giving this wine a very linear and determined feel overall”
Monica Larner, RobertParker.com November 2023
