The 2024 Colleleva Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is a charming Italian white from Le Marche region that offers exceptional value. It's crisp and linear, with subtle aromas of flowers and herbs

The vineyards of Colleleva (Colle "hill", and si leva, "rises") lie on the heights of the Marche: about halfway between the Apennine mountains and the coastline of the Adriatic Sea This positioning gives the wine its distinctive “only in Italy” character.

The Verdicchio grape produces "a crisp wine with soft stone fruit character. Peach and pear lead way to a light grassy note with mouthwatering acidity on the finish. The low alcohol and bright, saline finish make it a delightfully refreshing choice all summer and beyond. It's "perfect for a leisurely glass of wine" and represents outstanding value in its price class, coming from 30-year-old vines in sandy tufo soils.
