The estate's 2008 Verdicchio dei Catelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Villa Bucci posesses stunning depth and beauty. Texturally vivid and layered, the 2008 impresses for its fabulous overall balance. The aromas and flavors are still very much vibrant. Readers who like a little more tertiary complexity should cellar the 2008 for another year or two. Today, the 2008 is totally gorgeous. I imagine the 2008 will find a place in the most discerning of cellars and restaurant wine lists. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
Ampelio Bucci's wines have always had tons of appeal. Bucci's strength is Verdicchio, and these two new releases, are flat-out delicious.
