La Staffa, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico

In addition to being one of Italy’s most beautiful and unspoiled regions (with a pristine stretch of Adriatic coastline on one side and the Apennine range on the other), Le Marche is also enjoying more widespread recognition for its white wines from Verdicchio. There are indeed many ‘green’ (verde) flavors and aromas that characterize this native variety—green apple, lime, herbs, leaves—and La Staffa captures all its mouth-watering freshness as well. This is a quintessential Italian white for sipping as an apéritif or enjoying with Adriatic seafood like branzino, scampi, and octopus. Organically grown in high-elevation vineyards of limestone/clay composition.

Italy

Northwestern Italy

Piedmont

Italy’s Piedmont region is really a wine “nation”unto itself, producing world-class renditions of every type of wine imaginable: red, white, sparkling, sweet...you name it! However, many wine lovers fixate on the region’s most famous appellations—Barolo and Barbaresco—and the inimitable native red that powers these wines:Nebbiolo.

Tuscany

Chianti

The area known as “Chianti” covers a major chunk of Central Tuscany, from Pisa to Florence to Siena to Arezzo—and beyond. Any wine with “Chianti” in its name is going to contain somewhere between 70% to 100% Sangiovese, and there are eight geographically specific sub-regions under the broader Chianti umbrella.
