The 2005 Cuprese Verdicchio (100% Verdicchio fermented and aged in stainless steel for 5 months prior to bottling) is a gorgeously ripe, medium-bodied white offering a fragrant nose of tropical fruits, flowers, and a hint of almonds. Medium-bodied with an excellent texture as well as a crisp, dry finish, it should be drunk over the next 12 months. A Leonardo LoCascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.
