Tasting notes
The estate's 2008 Verdicchio dei Catelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Villa Bucci posesses stunning depth and beauty. Texturally vivid and layered, the 2008 impresses for its fabulous overall balance. The aromas and flavors are still very much vibrant. Readers who like a little more tertiary complexity should cellar the 2008 for another year or two. Today, the 2008 is totally gorgeous. I imagine the 2008 will find a place in the most discerning of cellars and restaurant wine lists.

Bucci's strength is Verdicchio, and these two new releases, are flat-out delicious. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
This is the current vintage! Pale straw and crystal clear. Beautiful, ripe nose and a little waxy. Yellow and white fruit with hints of breadcrumbs and lemon peel. Very elegant and fine palate with an almost salty finish. Very tactile acidity. Very long and fine. (WS)
