FUSO La Staffa, LE SALSE Verdicchio di Jesi 2024

100% Verdicchio

Marche, Italy

Verdicchio is one of Italy’s great white grape varieties. Brisk and refreshing; orange rind, green apple, savoury. The citric backbone and length can be attributed to the high elevation of the vineyards at 400-500 meters; mineral tension come from the limestone and clay soils, with a high mix of calcium carbonate. Let’s say it together: [Joe] “Pesce!”

Marina Morici of La Staffa winery is the local producer in Le Marche region. Certified organic farming by CCPB. Native yeast, whole cluster pressing, pied de cuvee fermentation, then fermentation and elevage; 4 months sûr lees with weekly bâtonnages. VEGAN.

FUSO is a US-based import project to search for and bottle Italy’s natural and characterful daily drinkers. These wines come from farmers and producer friends who are committed to organic viticulture, low-intervention, and terroir-driven wines.
