“Villa Torre” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore DOC 2022 (BIO)
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.DEread more- Grape Variety: 100% Verdicchio

“Misco” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore DOC 2021
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” Marche Rosso IGT 2018
Libenter, which means "with pleasure", is an extremely refined Rosso Piceno with a broad bouquet of fruit, spices and flowers. Balanced, juicy, fresh and tangy and not only extremely typical in flavour, but also with remarkable depth and complexity. We are very fond of this high-quality red wine with its distinctive seductive qualities. SUPERIORE.DE
"This edition from 2018 offers medium fruit weight coupled to a rather austere bouquet with blackberry and prune. It ages in neutral oak (third and fourth passage), which helps keep the mouthfeel bright and the wine from feeling too extracted. There are earthy notes and a hint of savory tobacco as well." Wine Advocate
"The dark, seductive 2018 Marche Rosso Libenter draws you to the glass with a captivating blend of blackberries and dried cherries complemented by autumnal spices, hints of pencil lead and camphor. It is elegant and velvety to the touch, paired with a dense wave of mineral black fruits balanced by nuances of sour citrus, while a hint of tobacco builds towards the finish. The 2018 leaves the palate with primary concentration and sweet tannins, while hints of mocha mingle with a bitter touch of raw hazelnut on the long and lightly textured final. The Libenter 2018 is already a pleasure from start to finish, but it could do with a short stay in the cellar to develop further." Vinous

“Misco” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva DOC 2018
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. SUPERIORE.DE
"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

A breathtaking view is offered here from the "Balcony of the Marches"just a few kilometres as the crow flies from the coast near the famous historic port city of Ancona. The Marche, a region with centuries of history, once fiercely contested, today unjustly underestimated. The area around Jesi and Cingoli was already settled in the 5th millennium BC and was a coveted wine and olive-growing area under the Romans. Even a Pope came from here, Pius VIII, so it is no wonder that a couple from old Italian noble families took on this area. In the early 1990s, Contessa Beatrice Lucangeli and Conte Stefano Aymerich di Laconi began to develop the Tenuta di Tavignano into a high-quality winery. High up, between two mountains that seem to be divided by the Esino River, the well-tended vineyards lie on the hills interspersed with clay marl and limestone. The constant breeze dries the vineyards early, the temperature differences between day and night favour the fruit development.
The region is also called the home of Verdicchio. And the mineral white wines with the designation Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore DOC are virtually the flagships of Tenuta di Tavignano. "Misco" and "Misco Riserva" have almost a subscription to the highest awards that Italian wine guides have to give out. In 2017, too, they were awarded the coveted "tre bicchieri" of the Gambero Rosso - in addition, the "Misco" Verdicchio 2015 was awarded the title "best white wine in Italy" ennobled.
Conte Stefano Aymerich di Laconi, or the "Engineer"as the great-great-great-great-grandson of the Sardinian viceroy is called here at his own request, likes to explain why his Verdicchio is so appreciated. It is not only the microclimate and terroir, but also the restrictions in the vineyard. Only a maximum of 3,000 canes are planted here in cordon training, because both Guyot training and a higher cane density, which are common in modern vineyards, are counterproductive for Verdicchio. He also relies fully on autochthonous grape varieties (Montepulciano and Sangiovese) for red wine; only a mini-percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon is used for the cuvée of his Rosso Piceno. Regional specialities, such as the fragrant Pecorino or the spicy Passerina, two little-known regional white wines, as well as the red speciality Barbarossa from the grape variety Lacrima di Morro d’Alba complete the exclusive programme.
