Description

Information:

Verdicchio is a white wine grape variety that has been cultivated for hundreds of years in the Marche region of central Italy. It is a versatile variety, used both for light, easy-drinking table wines, and for more complex, ageworthy examples. It is commonly lauded by critics as being one of Italy's best white wine grape varieties, and is found in vineyards across the country.

Vineyard: 18 hectares (37 acres) 10-40 years old, at our farm which is at 420 meters (about 1,400 feeet) above sea level. We have farmed this north-facing vineyard organically since 1995.

Soil: a mixture of sand, loam, and clay, rich in limestone.


Wine making:

Harvest by hand, into small boxes to keep the fruit intact, normally in october. Soft pressing, slow fermentation at low temperature, left on the lees for 4 month in stainless steel.
