"Casal di Serra was one of the first truly "selected" Verdicchio made in this variety’s production area. It was created in the 1980s by selecting the best grapes grown in the Montecarotto vineyard, and later enriched with grapes from another three plots situated in the most suitable areas for cultivating Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. 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 Casal di Serra particular properties of richness and personality, without altering its fine balance and special elegance.
Straw yellow colour with golden hints, to the nose it shows intense and persistent perfumes of wild flowers and aromas of yellow pulp fruit such as peach, apricot and golden apple. To the palate it’s rich and velvety with a good dose of freshness and sapidity to balance the great softness. Dry finish, persistent and intensely fruity."
93/100 Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast (2022 Vintage)
"This Verdicchio is a flower shop in a bottle with elegant aromas of mixed flowers, green herbs, lemon oil and white gravel. A wine that is as much of a feeling as it is tasty, with an amazing texture that hugs the palate with a pleasant pithy bitterness and sea-salty finish. Drink now–2035."
91/100 James Suckling (2022 Vintage)
"Inviting aromas of apple, citrus fruit and floral highlights follow through to a medium-bodied palate with a lightly chalky edge to the texture and plenty of clean, fruity flavour. From organically grown grapes. Nicely balanced and delicious."
91/100 Decanter (2022 Vintage)
"Originally a single-vineyard wine, Casal di Serra is now a selection of the Montecarotto vineyard along with three other sites. Vinified and matured sur-lie in stainless steel, it's saline, floral and fresh with some lovely melon and soft stone fruit scents. There's some leesy creaminess in the mouth, accompanied by vibrant yellow fruits, crunchy apple and zesty acidity."
