Before Andrea Felici let his son take over the property, he sent him out to train in some of the world’s finest restaurants. When Leopardo returned home to take the reins he brought a fine sense of detail and precision to bear, converting the property to organic farming and molding every facet of the operation to his vision. Now, all grapes are hand-picked in small bins, fermented in stainless and concrete, and aged on the lees. The results speak for themselves: zesty with lemon and green plum accents and a delicate, floral bouquet. There is a certain hard mineral tautness that gives way to a surprisingly full, creamy finish: transporting and cerebral yet entirely approachable at once. Pair it with all manner of seafood: shrimp scampi, fresh shellfish, or firmer fillets, Marchigiano cheeses like Caprino, or lighter poultry-based fare.
