It took 5 years before we had a harvest that made us feel satisfied and proud of our job. The commitment to quality is sometimes crazy. There would be many shortcuts, but in the end you can’t lie about what you do, because when you drink what you produce, you realize it. Verdicchio is the main grape of the Marche region and Verdicchio grown in Matelica is one of its greatest expressions, something that has existed for centuries. When I started producing wine I didn’t have in mind a target, a palate, something to copy, to make it the same, I simply trusted to bring to the cellar what the vineyard and the season had to offer to us. Through spontaneous fermentation, resting on the fine lees and slow aging in concrete tanks, we are able to obtain the wine we like to drink. We mainly work with the senses: the nose, the taste, the colors. We work with rhythms and with time: the wine must be followed with continuous tastings to understand where it is going, especially in the first period. And if it wants to go through some malolactic fermentation, we let it go.
Bottles rest for a few months before being ready for selling.
