Sartarelli "Milletta" Verdicchio RISERVA dei Castelli di Jesi Classico

Lively and intense straw yellow color. It has great expressiveness with flint notes, hints of hawthorn, almonds, rose and apricot, but it presents also creamy and toasted notes. On the palate, it is intense, enveloping and very balanced, covering the alcoholic note. Its finish remains delicate but with a distinctive, lingering after-taste and scent of bitter almond which is a characteristic of this varietal.

Sartarelli "Milletta" Verdicchio RISERVA dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2020	93 Vinous The sweetly scented and perfumed 2020 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Millette 50 wafts up with pretty yellow flowers, sugar-dusted apricots and nuances of ground ginger. This is a purely elegant expression with a pleasant inner sweetness and silky textures that find wonderful contrasts through a twang of candied lime. A burst of salty minerals emerges through the finale, leaving a saline crust upon the palate that seems to slowly crackle and then fade. The Millette is a new wine in the Satarelli portfolio from an east- to southeast-facing vineyard planted in 2004 at 210 meters of elevation in soils of 40% clay, 30% silt and 20% sand. The wine spends about eight months maturing on the lees. This bottling celebrates the 50th anniversary of the winery.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
Sartarelli "Milletta" Verdicchio RISERVA dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2021	94 Vinous Simply stunning, the 2021 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Riserva Milletta blossoms in the glass with a complex blend of dusty florals and exotic spice, giving way to raw almonds and delicate fresh pear suggestions. It flows across the palate like silk, complicated by tactile mineral tones and a core of zesty acidity. Tasty green apples add tension toward the close. The 2021 tapers off with tremendous length and lightly structured, ending with echoes of sour lime and a liquid stone sensation. The Riserva Milletta is a fantastic addition to the Sartarelli portfolio.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
