Wines clear in expression and pure as crystals, excellent immediately and capable of prodigious improvements in the bottle
Collestefano is a family winery which, starting from the criteria of simplicity and spontaneity of nature, has been able to stand out in the Marche wine scene for a long-limbed, lean and traditional style of great quality.
Extending over a vineyard area that currently covers about 15 hectares, the company is a staunch supporter of everything that is respectful of nature, for which systemic treatments are absolutely banned, as well as chemical fertilizations, and between the rows green manure and organic fertilization are the most widespread and adopted practices.
The Collestefano winery is led by Fabio Marchionni who, after having worked as an agronomist in Germany and Alsace, took over the family vineyards with the idea of producing a Verdicchio that was simple, easy to drink, without surprising.
Collestefano's Verdicchio di Matelica is a surprising wine, juicy and dynamic, with varied and ample aromas.
The merit of the freshness of this Verdicchio is to be attributed primarily to Fabio Marchionni; it is he, in fact, who seeks the varietal clarity, the saline thrust and the dynamic notes that make this Verdicchio a great wine, a unique expression of a territory.
«Let's leave it to nature; you gain in quality and health ”, so Fabio perfectly describes the philosophy of the winery.
A philosophy from which wines are born which embody territorial expressiveness and which maintain their reliability unchanged, harvest after harvest. The only variable is the season, which must give character to the wine.
Small winery, Collestefano takes its name from the locality in which it is located, it is the cradle of a Verdicchio with unmistakable features, a genuine and truthful expression of the particular terroir.
The scenario is that of the lands of Macerata around Matelica which rises in the center of the Upper Esino Valley, surrounded to the east by the Monte San Vicino chain and to the west by the Umbrian-Marchigiano Apennines.
Known for Verdicchio it is also the City of Honey, a product that goes perfectly with cheese. The best local honeys are collected between hills and fields where the flora is rich in spontaneous flowers and pollution is almost absent.
