2021 Mirum Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva La Monacesca Marche Italy

The 2021 Mirum, Verdicchio di Matelica, Riserva, by La Monacesca, Marche, is just beautiful on the nose, lifted and fragrant with fleshy notes of honey, stone fruits and summer herbs. Dry and giving on the palate, rich and broad with stony minerality, intense and beautifully balanced. The fleshy fruit is ever present on the long, delicate finish with notes of bitter almond. One of the most concentrated vintages I can remember reminds me of the 2001 or 2006, both great classic vintages.
