Winemaker Notes
Pale straw yellow in color with lovely green reflections. An intense nose with typical aromas of Verdicchio and notes of white flowers and green apple. On the palate this wine is intense, warm, tasty, fresh and quite balanced.
It will pair wonderfully with your favorite fresh cheeses or seafood dishes.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With only 3,894 bottles released last year, the Bisci 2018 Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva Senex is a spectacular wine with impressive depth and complexity. The bouquet reveals soft swells of tropical fruit, green melon, kiwi and crushed stone. The effect is very silky and fine; however, the wine offers beautiful length. There is ample volume too and dimension, which bodes well for the long-term aging potential of this bottle. This special wine represents a culmination of experience and wisdom.
Bisci practices organic agriculture, but is not certified organic. Integrated insect and disease control is followed. The Marche Region monitors climatic data and informs the growers in regard to the need for disease control. To thwart mold and pests, sulfur and copper-based products are used in the vineyards. For nutritional purposes, vineyard owners use "managed" cover crops between the rows of vines. The soil is tilled to avoid competition between the roots for nutrients, water and oxygen. When needed, organic fertilizer (manure) is used after the harvest. Low doses of SO2 in the wines help preserve the wine’s quality.
