Titulus Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from 250 hectares of vineyards divided among 12 plots in the hills of Castelli di Jesi. The plots differ in aspect and elevation, contributing complexity and balance.

Vinification

Each plot is harvested when its grapes reach optimal ripeness. The harvest lasts 20–25 days and involves more than 200 people. After gentle pressing, the must ferments for 15–18 days in stainless-steel tanks and cement vats at a controlled temperature of 16–18 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests for several months in 100 hl steel tanks, developing additional aromatic complexity, followed by approximately one month in storage after bottling.
