Verdicchio di Matelica
Learn more about Verdicchio di Matelica
Only a tenth of the size of the Castelli di Jesi DOC, the 300ha of vineyards in Verdicchio di Matelica lie up the hill from their more famous counterpart, on mineral-rich calcareous clay soils at a lofty altitude of 400m.
These factors, combined with a continental climate, help produce one of Italy’s very top white wines. Vinification in stainless-steel is combined with lees contact which delivers a rich, complex wine with a pleasing almost salty twist such is the high level of dry extract.
Recommended producers: La Monacesca.

La Monacesca, Marche,
Drink now,
A sumptuous vintage has created a complex wine with a big character and capacity to age. The nose is a bundle of roasted almonds, tropical fruit and honey. The palate is all involving, delicious, beautifully balanced, long and crowned by a zippy fresh finish. This is one for the cellar, but is drinking now if you cannot wait!

Delightfully forward, the 2009 has all nuances and complexity of previous vintages, without the reserve of the likes of 2006 and 2008. This wine offers up notes of mineral salts, ripe peach and hints of botrytis on the nose, which follow through on the beautifully balanced palate where the wine is medium-bodied with a wonderful mouth-feel and great length. Drink now and until 2015+ with grilled fish, white meat, rice and pasta dishes.
