Mario Lucchetti began in the 1980s with a passion focused on restoring the importance of the area’s native varietals. In recent years, Mario’s son Paolo completed his degree in enology and is now working side by side with his father to carry the family tradition into the next decades. The focal point of the winery is their basic Lacrima bottling, but they also produce the “Guardengo” single-vineyard bottling as well as an Amarone style Lacrima made from partially dried grapes. Annual production remains well under 10,000 cases per year.
VINEYARD: The DOC Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is the best known area for Verdicchio and is located in Central Italy on the Adriatic coast. Hand harvested
VINIFICATION: Stainless steel
On the Nose and Palate: The first notes are aromas of lime blossom, honeysuckle and roasted lemon zest. The wine shifts gears and highlights the Marcona almonds, candied lemon zest and sea spray. Dry, bright and vibrant, with plenty of fresh citrus fruit and saline mineral notes - think candied lemon zest and almonds on the palate. . An ideal introduction to Verdicchio, the indigenous grape of Le Marche.
