The distinctive trait of Stefano Zoli's Verdicchio di Matelica is a very important and distinctive acidity, with mountain aromas and a taut, vibrant sip. Few, limited bottles for this first harvest, the 2020.
A preview - artisanal, subdued and powerful - is ready to tell its story. For those who travel, experiment, interact with nature. Wine to be drunk immediately but left in the cellar for a few years can give great emotions.
The grapes come from a vineyard made up of 3,500 very old vines reared double overturned on a soil composed of flisch, yellow marl and limestone facing South / East at 430 meters above sea level.
Harvest in mid-October
Vinification: soft pressing with whole grapes in reduction (the press is saturated with CO2) with subsequent spontaneous fermentation in steel and cement.
Aging for 5 months sur lies and then 2 months in the bottle
Pairing: it goes well with rich fish-based dishes, substantial first courses, to be tried also with a pork fillet with apples. It is recommended to taste it in tulip glasses.
‘It’s my wish that my wines talk to you about these mountains, these primal woods, these sunrises and these sunsets…
That they talk to you about light.’
Matelica the perfect place for a great mountain Verdicchio.
