Collestefano's 'Verdicchio di Matelica' is a great example of Italian Verdicchio. This wine is intensely aromatic and has a perfumed nose with lifted floral characters, sappy acacia hints, nuances of fig, citrus blossom, peach, lemon and wildflowers. Showing amazing purity and drive with a restrained texture that supports a glacial line of mouthwatering acidity and minerality. This is at once complex and layered, but pure and refined at the same time - very memorable!
Verdicchio known for having bright acidity and classic aromas and flavours of peach and lemon, along with bitter almonds. Seafood or risotto are both ideal pairings with Verdiccio, along with quiche or carbonara.
Producer
Collestefano
Dwarfed in area and production output by the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC, the Verdicchio di Matelica DOC covers a small, elevated region in south-central Marche flanked by the Apennines. The local climate coupled with the chalky limestone-rich soils invests the wines with finesse, vibrant acidity and extract.
Although historically regarded as the source of the finest Verdicchio, the producers of Matelica have mostly fallen short of this reputation – the familiar pressure of economics, and perhaps a lack of ambition, hobbling improvement. Armed with the belief that Verdicchio is a noble grape and that it has a perfect home in Matelica, Fabio Marchionni has led a quiet revolution with quality and authenticity as his weapons
Aside from producing a tiny amount of rosato, Fabio is singular in his pursuit of crafting the finest Verdicchio, and as a consequence produces just one cuvée from his organically farmed 3.5ha estate. Recognizing the primacy of vineyard health in making great wine, Fabio and his father converted the family estate to organics in 1995. Fabio’s wines are all about crystalline purity and invigorating acidity – modern benchmark Verdicchio.
