- It is a crisp, fresh wine with lively citrus notes complemented by delicate white floral nuances. Marked acidity underpins the fruit, with classic minerality and a saline note on the long, persistent finish. This wine is made with minimal intervention, using only the highest-quality grapes, carefully selected and gently pressed. The grape must undergo cool static decantation and be fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to bring out the true expression of the Verdicchio variety and the cool-climate terroir of Matelica. After fermentation, the wine spent four months in stainless steel and another two months in cellaring before being released.

| Winery | The Marche in Central Italy is where the Verdicchio flourishes as one of Italy’s finest native white varieties. Verdicchio translates as ‘little green one’ due to a distinctive green tinge on the grapes even when fully ripe. The vineyard is located in the DOC of Verdicchio di Matelica, which has a north-south orientation parallel to the Adriatic Sea. Mountains on either side create a valley, sheltering the vines from seaborne ventilation. The Verdicchio vines are Matelicese clones, which were planted in 2007 at a density of 3,200 vines per hectare. The Guyot-trained vines are organically cultivated with an east-facing orientation at 650 meters’ elevation on the hills behind Mount San Vicino in the hamlet of Braccano. The climate is distinctively continental, with warm summers and cold winters. The diurnal temperature variation extends the growing season, producing aromatic wines with naturally high acidity. Harvests take place in the second half of October. The grapes are certified organic and are harvested by hand. |
