This rare Riserva comes from the historic vineyards of the Garofoli family in Montecarotto – a selection of the purest Verdicchio grapes from the classic hills of the Castelli di Jesi. The family has been cultivating the noble Verdicchio grape on these medium loamy soils with sandy and calcareous inclusions for five generations. The lowest yields per hectare and the latest possible hand-picking guarantee the highest concentration for this top wine.

Serra Fiorese is initially rather restrained in the glass with delicate nuances of yellow flowers, peach skin and a hint of spices. The palate is then powerful with rich peach and nectarine notes accompanied by zesty citrus fruit. It leaves an aftertaste of tension and whets the appetite for more with its salty minerality and a hint of baked apple that lingers for a long time. The Serra Fiorese, vinified in small batches, is a Verdicchio fermented and matured in oak barrels, which must be given a certain amount of time to experience its undisputed greatness, and then it is great!

"This is a layered and complex wine with a juicy finish. Seaweed on the nose with white pepper, bright orange-blossoms and a rich, somewhat exotic mango core. Silky and bone-dry with medium body, crisp acidity and an assertive, almondy aftertaste." James Suckling
