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, serious white with high drinkability. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mixing peppery florals and herbs with wet stone and green apple, the 2020 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Villa Torre makes itself known. This is spicy and savory, with a zing of brilliant acidity that keeps the energy high, as tart orchard fruits and sour lime cascade across the palate. While incredibly fresh, it's also persistent, leaving the mouth watering for more, as nuances of sweet citrus slowly taper off. It is amazing to think that the Villa Torre is the entry-level Verdicchio of Tenuta di Tavignano. The value here is unprecedented." Vinous

Cervidoni, a fresh and pleasantly fruity blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese with great drinkability, smells of herbs and dark berries. Beautifully aromatic on the palate, straightforward and with a fine, smoky note. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Rosso Piceno Cervidoni is fruit-forward, yet it colors within the lines of classical balance, as black cherries and cloves gain lift through a whiff of fresh mint and cedar. It envelopes the palate in dark ripe fruits and subtle spices, motivated by vibrant acidity, as rosy inner florals form toward the close. This tapers off with medium length, crisp and pleasantly dry, leaving hints of licorice to linger on. Very nice." Vinous

Misco, the white top product of the house and a Verdicchio matured in stainless steel, exudes an elegant bouquet of floral and aniseed tones. On the palate, a great interplay of juice and power, spicy tension, fresh citrus notes and aromatic firmness. It is among the best of its denomination every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Herbal nose, mineral notes. Palate shows grapefruit focus, flinty undertones, a fruity finish." Decanter

"Spicy and full of unbridled energy, the 2019 Verdicchio dei Castello di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco wafts up with an inviting display of crushed green apples, candied ginger, incense, stone dust and almond paste. It's a silky and medium-bodied effort that soothes all that it touches in ripe orchard fruits, but it then cleanses the palate with a blast of salty acids. pepflorals and hints of lime linger, as the mouth waters for more. While the Misco is already firing on all cylinders, it wouldn't hurt to lose a few bottles in the cellar for a year or two." Vinous
