Animated, energetic, full-flavored, and seems bigger-boned than I remember the previous bottle being— which isn’t a criticism..

Steve Edmunds wrote:Rahsaan; the Unti family hails from the Marche, so they found a way (wink, wink) to get some Verdicchio in the ground. They have been dialing back some of the ripeness for a few years, especially with the whites. It should be interesting to see how the wines are when the vines are a few years along.
