2023 Fuso Le Salse Verdicchio di Jesi

Fuso Belisario Le Salse Verdicchio springs from the iconic hillside vineyards of Marche, where breeze-kissed vines carve vibrant freshness into every bottle. Pale straw in hue, this Verdicchio di Jesi captures lively acidity and minerality that speak of limestone-rich soils and ancient salt springs that inspired its name. Bright citrus and orchard fruits hit first, followed by a whisper of herbal nuance that keeps the profile nuanced, never flat. It’s crisp, dry, and expressive — a wine you’ll reach for again and again.

Nose: The bouquet opens with crisp green apple and lemon zest, woven with hints of white peach, honeysuckle, and a subtle saline breeze from terroir’s salty undercurrents.

Palate: On the palate, tart green apple and juicy tangerine collide with brisk acidity and a chalky mineral spine that keeps it racy and refreshing, with light herbaceous layers adding depth.

Finish: The finish is clean and invigorating, lingering with grapefruit, lime, and that subtle salty tang that begs another sip.

Pair with pan-seared sea bass accented with lemon and capers, risotto with asparagus and Parmesan, or clams steamed in garlic and white wine — all echo the wine’s citrus and mineral energy.
