Verdicchio di Matelica Collestefano 2025

The Verdicchio di Matelica from the family-run winery Collestefano represents an agile and smooth interpretation of the territory, produced according to the principles of certified organic farming. The estate is located in Castelraimondo, among the hills of the Valle Camertina, a plateau closed to the sea that enjoys a temperate climate. Here, since its arrival in the 1960s, the Marchionni family has been managing the vineyards under organic farming, certified since 1995. Organic fertilization, low use of copper in plant protection treatments, traditional winemaking, and limited use of sulfur dioxide are just some of the practices adopted by the Marchionni.

Collestefano Verdicchio di Matelica is made from only Verdicchio grapes grown at an altitude of 420 meters on medium-textured soils rich in limestone. The vines, coming from a mass selection of local clones, are cultivated under certified organic farming. The harvest is done by hand in small boxes, and the bunches are then subjected to a gentle pressing, with the must obtained undergoing a slow alcoholic fermentation in tanks.of stainless steel at low temperature. The subsequent maturation phase, which takes place on the fine lees, occurs in steel for 4 months and malolactic fermentation is not carried out in order to preserve the freshness of the finished wine.

The Verdicchio di Matelica Collestefano expresses a straw-yellow color with characteristic greenish reflections. The aromatic range consists of intense and varied scents of white-fleshed fruit, citrus fruits like cedar and grapefruit, apple, wildflowers, and almond. On the palate, it is elegant, juicy, and dynamic, with a vibrant fresh-salty push and a pleasant fruity and almondy finish.
