Villa Bucci Pongelli Rosso Piceno DOC 2023
There are legends — and then there’s Villa Bucci. Founded in 1983 by the visionary Ampelio Bucci, this estate from Italy’s Marche region turned Verdicchio into one of the world’s most collectible white wines. In 2024, the Veronesi family — founders of the OniverseGroup and champions of Italian craftsmanship — acquired the estate, carrying Bucci’s pioneering spirit into a new era. Together, they’re preserving everything that made Villa Bucci iconic: old vines, organic farming, and that haunting, Burgundian depth of flavor. The wines are still made slowly in the underground cellar, fermented naturally, and aged in 70-year-old Slavonian oak barrels that whisper complexity, not wood. Ampelio Bucci remains the estate’s guiding light, ensuring that every bottle stays true to its roots while embracing a new generation’s creativity. The result is pure Verdicchio poetry — structured, mineral, and unforgettable, the kind of wine that proves Italy’s future still begins in its oldest vineyards.
