The 2008 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Tralivio is made from lower yields than the regular bottling, which comes through in the wine’s depth and richness. Succulent ripe peaches, mint, minerals and flowers emerge from this voluptuous, sexy Verdicchio. Pretty candied notes are layered into a vein of minerality that gives the Tralivio its gorgeous balance, impeccable finish and sense of proportion. This is a terrific effort from Sartarelli. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018. Sartarelli is one of the premier, reference-point producers of fine Verdicchio. Readers should do whatever they can to taste these fabulous whites from the Marche.
