Description

Modern DNA tests have shown that the grape variety of Verdicchio from the Marche region is actually identical to Veneto’s Trebbiano di Soave in northeastern Italy. This fascinating discovery sheds new light on the historical connections between these two regions. Historians believe that it was brought south to Marche by Venetian merchants, who recognized the potential of this unique grape variety. The Verdicchio grape thrived in the diverse terroir of Marche, leading to the establishment of two main production areas: Castelli di Jesi and the smaller Matelica.

Matelica, in particular, has emerged as a prominent hub for the production of Verdicchio wines. The vineyards in Matelica boast a well-defined terroir that imparts distinct characteristics to the Verdicchio grown there. This terroir, coupled with the expertise of local winemakers, results in some of the most interesting and high-quality Verdicchios available in the market. The verdicchio of Matelica is truly an excellent product that showcases the unique flavors and aromas of the region, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts worldwide.
