Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Plenio

Umani Ronchi is an Italian wine producer with estate vineyards situated throughout the Marche and Abruzzo sub regions. The Bianchi-Bernetti family founded the estate in 1959 and has since specialized in the production of local grape varieties. From the 1970s onwards, Umani Ronchi has seen significant investment and development in its vineyards, particularly with the replanting of 85 percent of its original vines. Today, Umani Ronchi cultivates approximately 210 hectares (520 acres) of vineyards. 

A weighty wine of great finesse. The deep straw yellow color shows golden hints and the nose comes up fresh and penetrating with light overtones of ripe fruit, honey, bitter almonds and aromatic herbs; balsamic and a hallmark note of aniseed left by the vineyard of origin. The palate follows through nicely, with a fresh attack and pleasant softness, balanced by the rich, velvety alcohol. The long, lingering finish calls to mind apples, plums and almonds. A long, sapid and salty finish.
