The single-vineyard 2007 Verdicchio di Matelica Vigneto Fogliano is a beautiful, elegant wine that stands head and shoulders above most of the whites from the Marche. Rich and generous on the palate, the Vigneto Fogliano impresses for its textured expression of fruit, well-articulated bouquet and long finish. Fragrant peaches, mint, minerals and very light honeyed tones resonate on the close. This is simply a first-class effort from Bisci that readers will not want to miss.
