Tenuta Colpaola Verdicchio di Matelica 2023/24

Description

While Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi may be the largest and best-known appellation for white wines made from the Italian Verdicchio grape, locals and connoisseurs know that the best Verdicchios come from the much smaller and more inland DOC Matelica.

Taste this magnificent example from Tenuta Colpaolo! This family-owned winery is owned by Francesco Porcarelli and his wife Stefania Peppoloni, who together represent the third generation.

They own ten hectares of vineyards in the Monte San Vicino nature reserve, situated 650 meters above sea level. This high altitude creates a temperature difference of no less than fifteen degrees Celsius. Combined with the soils rich in calcareous clay and the organic farming method, this allows Stefania and Francesco to produce expressive, terroir-specific Verdicchio.

Harvesting is done by hand to ensure optimal selection of exceptionally ripe and healthy grapes. Once in the cellar, fermentation and aging take place in stainless steel tanks. This results in a sparkling Verdicchio, distinguished by intense juiciness and a seductively ripe, full-bodied flavor while retaining ample freshness.

This makes the Colpaola wonderfully drinkable and a fantastic aperitif as well as a lovely accompaniment to tasty vegetable or fish dishes. Anyone who tastes this wine will immediately understand why Verdicchio is considered one of the noble white grape varieties of Italy.
