Monacesca's Mirum is one of the finest Italian white wines on the market from an estate that is now widely regarded as one of the finest white wine producing estates not just in Marche, but the whole of Italy.

The Mirum has also earned the highest possible accolade from Italy’s leading independent wine guide - Gambero Rosso’s treasured tre biccheri (3 glasses). So, if you enjoy steely, minerally whites with rich, honeyed high notes, then you need look no further than La Monacesca’s premium Verdicchio, which is simply sublime with oysters.

La Monacesca dates back to 900 AD when Benedictine monks fled persecution to the Apennine hills to practice viticulture. In the 1960s Casimiro Cifola set about unlocking the mountainside’s potential and began planting Verdicchio in mineral-rich soils. Casimiro and his son Aldo have been at the forefront of Verdicchio’s quality renaissance ever since.

“The nose is explosive and deep, and palate has a soft, broad entry, almost sweet in the presence of residual sugars fusing with the distinct alcoholic warmth that ushers in a long, layered finish.” Gambero Rosso, Italian Wines
