The 2004 Fattoria San Lorenzo 'Il San Lorenzo' Marche Bianco is an iconic, ultra-extended-aging white wine from Italy's Marche region, crafted entirely from the Verdicchio grape by winemaker Natalino Crognaletti

Made from the best one or two bunches from each vine in the Vigna delle Oche vineyard and aged on its lees in concrete and stainless steel for about 9 years, plus a further 10 months in bottle before release. Natalino took a risk when he decided to make this wine, but the results are incredible, showcasing the immense ageing potential of verdicchio. The richness and weight of the wine make it hard to believe there is no oak contact. Very limited production, made only in outstanding years.

Appearance: Deep, intense golden yellow.

Aroma: Complex notes of honey, candied fruit, apricot, ripe peach, and tropical hints, layered with acacia flowers, mint, and wet stone.

Palate: Velvety, dense, and rich, yet preserved by vibrant underlying freshness, minerality, and a very long, elegant finish
