Collestefano, Verdicchio di Matelica

Still good for a few years to come

2015 vintage

creamy bouquet, sweet almond and buttercream, plus beautiful delicate lemon soft and creamy up front, then beautiful mineral grip, this has a high class Macon vibe tasted blind guessed Pouilly Fuisse

2015 vintage

Verdicchio blind tasting : Very nice bottle that aged well. Straw yellow, White flowers nose, vet greasy with honey notes in the mouth, well balanced by a good acidity. Long finish

2015 vintage

Ossidato.

2015 vintage

Starting to oxidize a bit now; not in necessarily a bad way; used for cooking

2015 vintage

This bottle continues to age well-- with nothing to change in comments...light hue. Light floral, apple nose. Fresh, bright, light, crisp, light apple, slight honey, green melon. Great wine. Terrific price too!

2015 vintage

Estremamente flessibie. Evoluto perfettamente. Perde leggermente la freschezza ma acquista tanta complessita'. Penultima del 2015. Sarebbe bello vedere cosa diventa dopo 10 anni.

2015 vintage

My really last bottle? Very pure, very refined and very perfumed (specially after three days in the fridge ! (exotic, violets, a bit like a viognier, or like a delicate müller-thurgau), owever delicious; see my previous notes.

2015 vintage

My last bottle? I'm not sure, but I'm sure the best one. Opened for a dinner on saturday, but not needed and tasted on Wednesday/Thursday. A perfume with violets, little flower, melon, white fruit, voluptuous, but dry and that was the same with the juicy taste. The aftertaste was refreshing.

2015 vintage

An exotic bouquet, superb ripe acidity and a nearly smooth midtaste; very pure and with a lingering aftertaste.

2015 vintage

You really have to wait two days withe the bottle opened (or to tickle the wine with lots of air) to discover the lovely acidity in the backbone. Than you realize the real quality of this gentle perfumed wine with its smooth taste and compensating freshness; lovely balance.

2015 vintage

You only taste what you get and you think the first day that the wine is pure but a bit middle of the road. The second day, after a long stay in the fridge, the wine shows its real dimensions; a lovely ripe and tasty acidity that supports the friendly body of the wine. The message: even at the age of four the wine needs aeration.

2015 vintage

Very nice--crept up on me while casually sipping before dinner. Huh, oh yeah this is nice--lemon, white flowers, mineral, nice balance, gets a bit richer with air time. Moderate length. Last bottle, time to look for more.

2015 vintage

As always a lovely wine and great qpr. Drank over several nights, and each night it just got better. Lovely floral/herbal/citrus tones in nose and on palate, clean with a bit of weight added with more air time. Fine balance. Good with food or alone--versatile at that with sufficient acid but always in balance. Just a success story of a grape and producer.

2015 vintage

More aromatic this vintage and a seemingly a bit spritzy. Reminds me of a Txakolina. Green tropical fruits and citrus. White flowers. Fruity on the palate with less body than previous vintages. Better as a summer supper than a food wine.

2015 vintage

Per prebious notes, as always great deal.

2015 vintage

Lovely light citrus, mineral, a bit floral quality and fragrance, a bit softer than other vintages, but still well defined. Always reliable qpr. This has its own voice and pleasure. I'd say drink up.

2015 vintage

Always a fantastic verdicchio!

2015 vintage

Improved from my last taste, yellow fruits, minerals, nice acidity. Now in the drinking window but can last for years

2015 vintage

Another very good bottle--per original note in comparison to 2014, I am now warming to this slightly softer vintage. Seems to me the nose is richer, palate a bit less acidic and citrus and mineral quality is a bit more balanced. Maybe more bottle time has added a bit of depth. Great qpr. Served with broiled cod and lemon/dill Israeli couscous.

2015 vintage

Light hue. Light floral, apple nose. Fresh, bright, light, crisp, light apple, slight honey, green melon. Great wine. Terrific price too!

2015 vintage

pretty much per previous notes. Very nice, lovely and great qpr. More like my note from nearly a year ago than June 2017.

2015 vintage

Light hue. Light floral, apple nose. Fresh, bright, light, crisp, light apple, slight honey, green melon. Great wine. Terrific price too!

2015 vintage

See my previous note(s); this wine needs extremely much air to shows its qualities (purity, elegance, balance); the natural yeast makes this wine so 'normal' and therefore so very special,

2015 vintage

Served with grilled swordfish/pesto/spinach pasta. A bit more reticent than last bottle. Curious, as I and others have noted, about development or in this case lack there of. Still good.

2015 vintage

Real crowd pleaser

2005 vintage

Anita: Nice med. nose of sea salt, minerals, dry herbs, fresh and lively and excellent w/shrimp diavolo.

2005 vintage

Anita: Fantastic nose of white frt, trop frt, sweet pepper; med. bod, grt bal., tons of a’s, wet stone, touch of greenness, tons of mineral element and a long acidic fin w/grt minerals in back end. Amazing w/cheese, prociutto, and even caper berries!

2005 vintage

Anita: W/Jerry and Patti. Really nice, focussed, metalic and minerals as hell, grt flavors. Very good stuff indeed.

2005 vintage

Karl House: Clear yellow; grassy notes w/guava, pecan notes; liter, med. bod; clean, citrusy, bright ass minerals, pine, resiny; tart apple, pear, nice, complex, low frt wine--viva Italia!
