90 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Verdicchio di Matelica bursts from the glass with an herbal twang, followed by crushed Granny Smith apples and hints of green olive. This enters the palate with an immediate sizzle of mineral tension that gives way to lime-tinged apple and savory spice. The 2021 leaves the palate with a reverberation of citrus tension and a salty flourish. Drink: 2023-2029. (Nov 2022)"
Importer notes: "Fabio Marchionni's Verdicchio has been consistent in quality, winning at least Two Glasses from Gambero Rosso since the 2001 vintage (twice winning Three Glasses). It is a great value for an organic wine. This wine easily competes with any Verdicchio on the market, most of which are more expensive. The Matelica zone is further inland and at a higher elevation than the more common Verdicchio di Castelli di Jesi. Matelica wines tend to be brighter and more elegant whereas the Castelli di Jesi wines often have a little more fruit and heft. Collestefano is textbook for the Matelica style -- bright and crisp with floral notes and a hint of pine."
