Verdicchio 'Vecchie Vigne' by Umani Ronchi is a cru that comes from the Busche vineyard.

Only the clusters with a mold attack of more than 50% are selected. Ages in small 225-liter French oak barrels for 14-16 months and 6 months of bottle aging. A meditation wine or accompaniment to aged cheeses. Great.
