Verdicchio
Description
Versiano was one of the first truly "selected" Verdicchio made in this variety’s production area. It was created in the 1990s by selecting the best grapes grown in the San Paolo di Jesi vineyard. All the values of a great indigenous variety find expression in this wine. Contact with its own natural yeasts during fermentation and in the ageing process gives Versiano particular properties of richness and personality, without altering its fine balance and special elegance.
