La Canosa Picus Viridis Verdicchio dei castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore

From the winery:

The green woodpecker is a bird that serves as a biological indicator of the balance of a territory. For us, this species is a perfect symbol of our commitment to sustainability, as it is very sensitive to ecological factors and confirms the health of the environment. The green woodpecker is also an auspicious bird representing strength, dedication and perseverance, which makes it an appropriate emblem for our La Canosa project. Totem animal of the ancient Piceno people, the green woodpecker was chosen as the coat of arms of the Marche region. The wine proudly bearing its name is a precious gem in our portfolio and completes the range of autochthone white wines.
