From the desire to make a great classic method entirely from the Marche region, the Madreperla was born which, since the 2015 vintage, is the result of the best selection of Verdicchio grapes only. The second fermentation of the base wine takes place only with the natural sugars of the grapes, after which the wine remains in the bottle on its lees for at least 4 years. A particular expedition liqueur is added to the disgorgement, a blend made with different vintages of Verdicchio Riserva and our Verdicchio brandy.

Extremely pleasant and ready to be enjoyed just a few weeks after disgorgement, Madreperla will be able to further mature in the bottle and give great satisfaction over time.
