Verdicchio
di Matelica
D.O.C.
Our ‘First’ wine obtained entirely from Verdicchio grapes from vineyards of different ages. The oldest planted in 1978 and the most recent one planted in 2016. The grapes are harvested by hand, placed in boxes are transported immediately to the cellar where they undergo a soft pressing. The obtained must is then transferred to the fermentation glazed concrete vats. After fermentation few months of refinemnt in the same vats follow.
Certified organic (CCPB) starting from vintage 2019.
