The 2024 Bisci Verdicchio di Matelica is a benchmark expression of one of Italy’s finest white wine appellations. Produced by the Bisci family in the hills of Matelica, Marche, the wine comes from organically farmed vineyards planted on limestone and clay soils at elevated altitudes. Widely regarded as one of the leading producers of Verdicchio, Bisci crafts a style that combines freshness, minerality and remarkable ageing potential while remaining incredibly approachable in its youth.
The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple, white peach and wildflowers, alongside subtle notes of fennel and crushed stone. The palate is bright and energetic, with vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by crisp acidity and a distinctive saline mineral backbone. Fresh, precise and beautifully balanced, it finishes long and refreshing with the hallmark purity that has made Bisci a reference point for the variety.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb Italian white that consistently overdelivers for quality and value. Crisp, mineral and incredibly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled fish, prawns, seafood pasta, roast chicken and fresh cheeses. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or cellar through 2030–2034 as it develops additional texture and complexity.
