Bucci’s 2008 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico is an attractive, mid-weight offering with excellent varietal character and lovely, finessed balance. It is best enjoyed over the next two to three years, as the stuffing to support extended cellaring isn’t quite there. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
