Verdicchio Castelli Jesi Classico Superiore 'Palombare' Campanelli 2023

The Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore 'Palombare' represents a label with a strong territorial identity, produced from the grapes of a single vineyard located in contrada Palombare in Sasso di Serra San Quirico, in the western part of the denomination. The high altitudes of the area and the proximity to the Apennine mountain range create a microclimate that is generally cooler with more significant temperature variations compared to the rest of the Castelli di Jesi territory. This is the basis for the brilliant freshness and rich aromatic heritage of this Verdicchio, strongly linked to the characteristics of its specific cru.
