With ripe Golden Delicious apples, hints of candied ginger, white peach and lemon zest in spades, it's full of life, carried on subtle bubbles that never overwhelm all that delicious flavor.

Harvested 2 weeks after its Riserva counterpart, the salinity and high-tension acidity of Selva’s soil and exposition are still very much apparent; Riccardo actually chose to hold this in bottle for 3 years before release, giving it more time to fully take form. Yellow flowers, pear, apricot, whiffs of smoke and almond come forward in the glass. Textures are lean but pliant, with a strong vein of crushed rock minerality underpinning ripe yellow apple, hints of spice, and a very ‘meadow after spring rain’ freshness. There’s a building of structural tension, with concentrated and crystalline florals that slowly taper off, and an overall impression of extreme elegance. Laser-focused now, this is one to hold onto.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver McCrum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41014172647504,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/LaStaffaVerdicchioRiservaSelvaDiSotto.jpg?v=1682469544"},{"product_id":"la-staffa-verdicchio-dei-castelli-di-jesi-classico-2024","title":"La Staffa Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\" face=\"roboto, helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLa Staffa's Verdicchio ‘normale’ is anything but – grown organically in limestone-rich soil at 400 meters above sea level, the high altitude preserving acidity, always lending its lip-smacking, fresh, green-apple zing.
