Ca' Liptra, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Kypra 2023

Why we love this bottle

Ca' Liptra was founded in 2012 by four friends from the wine world, in Cupramontana in the Marche. That village is the heart of Verdicchio, the white grape of the region. The name is a play on words. Ca' means house, and the rest are the initials of the four founders. Calyptra is also the little cap that covers the young flower of the vine. We love it because it puts a region that gets far too little attention in the spotlight.

Their vineyards lie on limestone, and some vines were planted as early as 1948. This wine ages for months in concrete tanks on its own lees. That makes it creamy. Green apple and lemon, with a salty touch. Fresh, creamy and long. Keep it nicely cool and taste the sea in your glass.
