Bucci
About
Ampelio Bucci's estate in the Castelli di Jesi hills produces Italy's most age-worthy Verdicchio. The Villa Bucci Riserva regularly ages for 15-20 years, developing complexity that rivals great white Burgundy. Winemaker Giorgio Grai's minimalist approach lets the chalky terroir and the Verdicchio grape speak clearly. The elegant 18th-century villa provides a gracious setting.
Why It's a Hidden Gem
Italy's most age-worthy white wine from a grape most people have never heard of, in a beautiful hilltop villa setting.
