La Calcinara 2022 IGT Marche Bianco “Clochard”

90% Verdicchio with 10% Chardonnay and Malvasia. Honeydew melon, pear, and citrus, with clove, white flowers, and almond. This is classic white wine from Italy. Ripe fruit aromas and flavors without going tropical, and that tell-tale slightly bitter finish. An excellent food wine! Pretty upfront with a long and tactile finish. Pair with ocean fish, roast fowl, and a sharp pecorino.
