Bucci 1994 Villa Bucci Riserva Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico)

Price $22

Aged two years in oak, this is a Verdicchio that will make you re-examine your perception of this grape. Intense nose of complex, layered apricot compote and spice. Rich and full. An ’88 (no longer available) was even more complex on the nose but just beginning to dry out a bit on the palate. — W.E. (11/1/1999)

Bucci 2007 Villa Bucci Riserva Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore)

Price $57

This is a rich and smooth white wine with aromas of mature peach, candied fruit, lime, crushed mineral and Asian spice. The wine shows impressive density and consistency that pairs with shellfish or spicy Thai curry. — M.L. (3/1/2012)

Bucci 2005 Villa Bucci Riserva Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico)

Online Exclusive

Price $55

Here’s a Riserva Verdicchio with very enjoyable layers of intensity and complexity. Aromas include mature peach, cantaloupe melon, almond nut and butterscotch. The wine’s texture is full and dense and it offers a soft, palate-pleasing finish. — M.L. (3/1/2009)

Bucci 2004 Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore)

Price $21

After a couple of tough vintages, this Verdicchio is back in form in 2004. Apple, melon, almond and vanilla work the nose, followed by a balanced but acidic palate pushing cider and orange peel. Finishes a touch pithy, with cleansing sharpness. — M.S. (10/1/2006)

Bucci 2000 Villa Bucci Riserva Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico)

Price $35

While it seems a bit mute and distant at first, time opens it, allowing clean, refined citrus and vanilla flavors to pour forth. This is a reserved riserva, a wine that charms but doesn’t overwhelm. It’s focused and dishes light but refreshing lemon-lime and mineral. — M.S. (8/1/2004)

Bucci 2002 Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore)

Price $19

Young and simple, with basic mineral and citrus notes. The taste profile is tangy, with good but pedestrian pineapple and orange flavors. The finish is long and solid, but again, pedestrian. — M.S. (8/1/2004)

Bucci 2009 Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore)

Price $23

This luminous Verdicchio opens with candied aromas of fruit and lemon rind backed by a creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Pair this wine with tangy Chinese sweet and sour dishes. — M.L. (3/1/2012)

Bucci 2005 Tenuta Pongelli Red (Rosso Piceno)

Online Exclusive

Price $21

Here’s a 50-50 Montepulciano and Sangiovese blend that genuinely reflects the territory it comes from: Aromas of wet earth, blackberry, leather, spice and red beets are woven tightly together. Well-built and firm, the wine shows good persistency on the finish and can stand up to stewed meats or aged cheeses. — M.L. (12/1/2007)
