The vineyards are located at Maiolati Spontini in the heart of the Marche region. Here, they benefit from a unique location with a mix of sunny days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to slowly mature and develop complex flavor profiles. The soil is calcareous clay.

The production is a careful combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques. The grapes are harvested manually and undergo gentle pressing to preserve the fine aromas. Controlled fermentation and aging on lees ensure a wine with both freshness and complexity. Aging in steel tanks, large barrels, and cement for a minimum of 20 months, followed by 6 months in the bottle.

The color is beautiful and bright straw yellow. The aroma is a blend of citrus fruits, with lemon and lime standing out. Deeper in the aroma, white peaches and sweet pears emerge. A subtle note of floral scents mixes in, adding an elegant complexity.

The taste is truly elegant. The fresh acidity, characteristic of the Verdicchio grape, combines beautifully with a mineral depth, creating a harmonious balance. The citrus notes from the aroma are echoed in the taste, accompanied lightly by green apples and a discreet nutty note that adds nuances. The aftertaste is remarkably fine, persistently fresh and elegant.

A truly delicious Verdicchio. One of our favorites!

This Verdicchio has a fresh, high acidity and a mineral depth that make it an outstanding partner for lighter dishes with citrus, herbs and good oil. The acidity cuts cleanly through fatty fish, oil and creamy sauces, while the discreet notes of white peach, green apples and nuts give the wine enough body for flavorful pasta and grilled white meat. Keep the dishes light to medium-bodied, so the wine's elegance and long, fresh aftertaste get room to play along. The mineral and slightly nutty tone also suits shellfish and fresh goat cheeses, where the acidity and the cheese's richness balance each other out.
