The 2006 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Plenio is a single-vineyard selection that was partially vinified in oak. A current release, the Plenio shows the virtues of Verdicchio with a few years of bottle age. Ripe apricots, peaches, flowers and the lightest hints of honey give an impression of richness and voluptuousness. This is a gorgeous effort from Umani Ronchi. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
