About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie in the Castelli di Jesi area, 100 m above sea level. The soils are medium-textured, with clay around the edges, and the coast's mild climate allows the Verdicchio to reach ideal ripeness.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in mid-October, picked early in the morning and chilled immediately to 5 °C before gentle pressing. The must ferments in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures.

Ageing

The wine ages briefly in stainless steel tanks, the same vessels used for fermentation.

Tasting profile

Elegant, fresh and lively yet full-flavoured. Aromas show the full range of Verdicchio, and the fruit keeps its natural juiciness. The wine has the cool freshness typical of the Marche.

Serving and pairing

Suited to an aperitif or a light Mediterranean dinner.

Label / history

The estate is run by the De Angelis family.
