FUSO + Marina Morici "Le Salse" Verdicchio di Jesi, Marche, Italy 2023

FROM PORTOVINO:

THE WINE: Verdicchio is one of Italy’s great white grape varieties; Marina Morici (from La Staffa winery) is our local producer in Le Marche region. 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; the savoury notes and tension come from the limestone and clay soils, with a high mix of calcium carbonate.

THE PRODUCER: FUSO is a PortoVino project in the spirit of what people from Europe still do today: once a year they visit their favorite local producer to fill up large glass demijohns that they later siphon off into smaller bottles at home. Every year we collaborate with our favorite organic farmers to siphon off and bottle only the most delicious and characterful wines from classic and off-the-radar growing areas.

For every FUSO wine, we have someone local from our team that is following the batch with the producer, from the vineyard to the bottle and then transport to you. This kind of of attention to detail on the production side allows us to have great juice, instead of just a cheap tasting commercial tank wine, or even a just a ‘good enough’ daily drinker. We’re very proud to be able to offer this kind of quality and terroir character, and it really is what drives the project.
