La Monacesca low-yielding, late harvest, old vine Verdicchio is a complex, concentrated, elegant mountain white from a small parcel of vines high up in the Apennines Mountains in central Italy. A combination of cool nights and hot days in the Matelica Valley deliver a rare balance of lively acidity and high alcohol reminiscent of fine Burgundy. The top cuvée, Mirum, wins every year Gambero Rosso’s Tre Bicchiere award (Italy’s wine ‘Oscar’)
