Tenuta di Tavignano

Villa Torre is the best seller of the family winery and comes from vines that are about 25 years old. Bright, straw-yellow green. Fresh floral aromas of nectarines, pears, lime and yellow apples. Soft on the palate, interwoven with sweet spices and framed by fresh, lively acidity, then citrus and traces of minerals in the second half. A thoroughly energetic, tension-filled white with high drinkability. SUPERIORE.DE

Misco, the estate's second top white product and a Verdicchio matured in stainless steel, exudes an elegant bouquet of floral and aniseed notes. On the palate, it is a magnificent interplay of juice and vigour, spicy tension, fresh citrus notes and aromatic firmness. It is one of the best in its denomination every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light golden light yellow; stale-fruity notes, mushroom; full-bodied, almost fruity, delicately bitter, lemony, also fresh mushrooms in the mouth, fresh, juicy." Merum

"Bright, sparkling straw yellow colour. Nobly restrained nose, mineral notes, reminiscent of wet stone, with some lemon and sage behind it. Lots of citrus fruit on the palate, fresh, crystalline clarity, salty, racy acidity, lingering, mouthwatering final." Falstaff

"This four-hectare cru facing the river spends 12 months on the lees without batonnage in stainless steel tanks, giving intense and fresh apple and lemon characters accompanied by floral scents and subtle spice. Soft and smooth, there's a touch of leesy creaminess underlining orange peel and juicy pineapple, peach and baked apple flavours. White pepper notes emerge on the long finish." Decanter

"The 2021 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco offers a minimalist reading of the grape with very fresh and concentrated flavours of white flowers, cut grass, freshly squeezed grapefruit and a hint of white pepper. The finish has a tangy, electric quality." Wine Advocate

"Always breathtaking, the 100% Verdicchio from Misco from a slightly late harvest. A multifaceted and fascinating nose, medicinal herbs, sage in the lead, tabacchiera peach, lily of the valley, with beautiful tension. Broad and crisp on the palate, horizontal, with excellent persistence." Luca Gardini

Libenter, which means like to be, is an exceedingly refined Rosso Piceno that spreads its bouquet of fruits, spices and flowers far and wide. Balanced, juicy, freshly drinkable and not only distinctly typical in taste, but also with remarkable depth and complexity. Very much appreciated - that's what we also say about this high-quality red with distinct seductive qualities. SUPERIORE.DE

"The darkly alluring 2018 Marche Rosso Libenter pulls you close to the glass with a captivating mix of blackberries and dried cherries complemented by autumnal spices, hints of pencil lead and camphor. It’s elegant and velvety in feel, matched by a dense wave of mineral-tinged black fruits offset by nuances of sour citrus, as an air of tobacco forms toward the close. The 2018 leaves the palate drenched in primary concentration and sweet tannins, as hints of mocha mix with a bitter twang of raw hazelnut through the long and lightly structured finale. The 2018 Libenter is already a pleasure from start to finish, but it could use a short stay in the cellar to flesh out." Vinous

Tavignano's complex top product Misco Riserva represents the synthesis of the winery's Verdicchio expertise and is their most refined interpretation of the terroir. Starting with the grapes from the Cru Misco vineyard, those grapes are selected that can best develop first in steel and then in the bottle. This ageing highlights the richness of the grape variety, its spicy and mineral notes and provides the ideal conditions for a long ageing, maintaining its aromatic vivacity at all times.

"Bright, radiant straw yellow. Nose of sea salt, raspberries, pineapple, juicy pear and candied lemon zest and a hint of spice. Opens up on the palate with great play, savoury and clear, seems very noble, lingers long and polished on the final." Falstaff

"Ripe and seductive with some phenols and a hint of honey on the nose and palate. Rich and round with good acidity and freshness. Impressive length and intensity." Decanter

"The 2018 Verdicchio dei Castello di Jesi Riserva Misco holds its power in reserve, displaying a delicate but layered and sweet-smelling bouquet that blends white smoke with pretty flowers, chamomile, cardamom and melon. Its weighty, almost oily texture is balanced by a core of bright acidity, where lemon zest combines with green apple and a hint of ginger to create a satisfying and spicy experience. For all the depth and character the Riserva shows today, the best is yet to come. The finish is long and tense, but still leaves you wanting more, along with that textbook almond bitterness that goes on and on. Brava." Vinous
