Although I did prefer the 2008, the 2010 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Plenio gives us a terrific view onto the staying power of this native Marche grape. This vintage delivers extra fruit weight with candied fruit, grilled herb, toasted bread and a darker mineral tone of pencil shaving. The bouquet is very nicely integrated, but it does remain on the neutral side. This wine is more open-knit and soft compared to 2008.
