Bisci Verdicchio di Matelica Vigneto Fogliano 2020
About the wine -
This wine comes from the Fogliano vineyard, the oldest and most prestigious vineyard of the Bisci estate in Marche, Italy, with vines planted in 1978. The 2020 vintage is made entirely from Verdicchio di Matelica grapes and is certified organic since 2019. Fermentation and maturation occur in vitrified cement vats for approximately 12–15 months, followed by at least a year of bottle aging, allowing the wine to develop its full complexity
94/100 MainstreeT Score -
"The 2020 Vigneto Fogliano displays a straw yellow color with green reflections. On the nose, it offers aromas of grapefruit, apple, white flowers, and subtle white pepper, with hints of vanilla bean and peach sorbet emerging as it opens. The palate is intensely saline, savory, and structured, with a balance of inner sweetness and mineral-driven crispness. It finishes with almond notes, exotic florals, and salted lime, making it a complex and persistent wine. Enjoy this NOW, but it will last several more years!"
94/100 - Decanter Magazine
"This single-vineyard Verdicchio di Matelica is from vines planted in 1978. The wine spends 12 months in concrete vats and a further year in bottle for a bright, intense translation of the north-facing valley. Grapefruit, apple and white flower aromas lead to an intensely salty palate; floral, pithy and long. Seriously classy and well made."
93+/100 - Wine Advocate
"From a warm and sunny vintage, the Bisci 2020 Verdicchio di Matelica Vigneto Fogliano shows its youth but also has the qualities for a long aging window. Specifically, it has the acidity, fruit weight and depth of bouquet. You should get an easy 10-year drinking window from this bottle. During my visit to the winery, we discussed what makes a great Verdicchio. Winemaker Aroldo Bellelli says the answer lies in quality must (or the pulp inside the berry) and not from the stems or the skins. This wine offers bright peach, apple and white pepper. The 2020 is slightly more structured compared to the 2019, and there is a bit more ripeness here as well. It closes with a crisp, salty finish."
91-100 - Vinous
"The 2020 Verdicchio di Matelica Vigneto Fogliano keeps me coming back to the glass again and again; crushed stone gives way to nuances of white pepper mixed with vanilla bean and, finally, peach sorbet. It’s silky-smooth with a burst of inner sweetness up front that’s quickly quelled by the onset of saline minerals and savory spice. The 2020 is full of character, yet it’s less about fruit; exotic inner florals and salted lime slowly taper off towards the finish. This is such a unique expression of Vigneto Fogliano, one that I am totally enamored with."
