Tenuta Colpaola Verdicchio di Matelica 2023

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 of Tenuta Colpaolo! This family winery is owned by Francesco Porcarelli and his wife Stefania Peppoloni, who together represent the third generation.

They have ten hectares of vineyards in the nature reserve of Monte San Vicino, located 650 meters above sea level. The high altitude provides a difference in day and night temperatures of no less than fifteen degrees. In combination with the soils rich in calcareous clay and the organic method, this enables Stefania and Francesco to produce expressive, terroir-typical Verdicchio.

The harvest is done by hand for an optimal selection of very ripe and healthy grapes. Once in the cellar, fermentation and maturation follow in stainless steel tanks. This produces a sparkling Verdicchio, which distinguishes itself by an intense juiciness and a seductive ripe, full taste while retaining sufficient freshness.

This makes the Colpaola wonderfully drinkable and a fantastic aperitif as well as a fine 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.

Drinking at
Seductive, intensely juicy dry white wine to enjoy on its own or with tasty (fish) dishes. Delicious with pasta with salmon, sardines from the barbecue, stuffed avocados with shrimp and grapefruit or young, hard cheeses.
