Leopardo Felici is a highly rated Verdicchio producer. This wine is from a hilly, cool area between Apiro & Cupramontana and shows bright natural acidity with a mineral overlay. Aged in cement tanks, there are lovely zesty grapefruit and lemon sherbert notes here. Very similar in style and drive to Chablis. Decanter

Lime aromas and flavors. Minerals and a hint of saline on the finish. A bit weighty, but not overpowering. Solid QPR.
