Another trip to Fabrocini's Beverly Glen - yes, the calamari and scungilli salad beckoned again - resulted in another white wine to pair with my favorite dish. Usually I go with a California wine here - once a German Riesling - but this time I went Italian.
The Bucci Verdicchio Dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore is $12 by the glass at Fabrocini’s. It has an alcohol level of 13.5% and appears to be a 100% varietal wine aged only in the bottle.
The wine has a shimmering golden color with a greenish tint. Peach and minerals vie for attention on the nose and the palate, with the mineral aspect particularly forceful on the taste. There is a hint of vegetation as well. A full mouthfeel and plenty of acidity make it a wonderful quaff, and both help it pair so well with seafood. A long-lasting finish leaves ripe peaches as a memory.
