TASTING NOTES
The Misco Riserva 2019 from Tenuta di Tavignano is a high-quality wine that represents the excellence of the Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva DOCG Classico denomination. This wine is the result of a careful selection of Verdicchio grapes, intended for long ageing, with an evolution capacity that exceeds ten years. The 2019 harvest saw a reduction of 15% compared to the previous year, but the quality of the harvested grapes was exceptional. Climatic conditions played a crucial role: the scarcity of rainfall in spring and low temperatures slowed plant growth, delaying the start of the harvest by about ten days. However, this contributed to producing whites with great character, making 2019 one of the best vintages for the Castelli di Jesi area. The Misco Riserva presents a bright and lively yellow colour that immediately catches the eye. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of yellow fruits, aromatic herbs, and a slight spiciness that enhances its almost granite-like minerality. These aromas combine to create a rich and engaging olfactory experience. On the palate, the wine stands out for its authority and well-balanced acidity that integrates perfectly with its mineral note. The structure is elegant, never overly sharp nor too rich, making it a seamless white. This balance allows the Misco to express its terroir in every nuance. The Misco Riserva 2019 pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, moderately aged cheeses, and white meats. Its versatility makes it ideal for accompanying a variety of culinary preparations, enhancing flavours without overpowering dishes. The Misco Riserva 2019 is a wine that not only reflects the quality of the Castelli di Jesi terroir but also showcases Tenuta di Tavignano's commitment to producing wines of excellence. With its ageing potential and distinctive organoleptic characteristics, it represents a truly interesting choice.
