At La Marca, viticulture is a labor of love—understandable, when you are farming luscious rolling hillsides in the foothills of the Apennines, enjoying a view of the Adriatic coastline in the distance. Pristine organic fruit finds its way to winedom through a spontaneous fermentation and long aging in massive oak casks, followed by an unfiltered bottling. Verdicchio is typically a light, crisp quaffer, but the Passolento has the layered textures that white Burgundy lovers chase after. In prime condition now, this 2016 will easily live another decade.

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
