Verdicchio di Matelica La Monacesca 2021

The Verdicchio di Matelica signed by La Monacesca is a prestigious white wine from the Marche region with great international fame. A medium-bodied product, extremely versatile in the kitchen thanks to a truly inviting drinkability. This characteristic comes from the excellent balance between the fresh component and the minerality typical of the Verdicchio grape, which is felt during tasting, a union that promotes a satisfying and balanced sip. A label that can be uncorked with satisfaction starting from now, but that has no problem withstanding an additional resting period in glass of 3-4 years, thus guaranteeing excellent reliability for future drinking.

The Verdicchio di Matelica is made by the La Monacesca winery starting from parcels where the age of the vines is between 10 and 30 years, located about 400 meters above sea level. Here the terroir is characterized by a primarily clayey subsoil. The must obtained from the pressing of the grapes ferments for 12-15 days in stainless steel containers, without any addition of sulfur. Always in steel, the wine then matures for 8 months on the lees, and then, after bottling, continues to refine for another 4 months before being released on the market.

This Verdicchio di Matelica presents itself visually with a typically straw-yellow color, very intense and concentrated. The olfactory spectrum moves on rich and layered notes, where anise alternates with sensations of fruit, including dried fruit. On the palate, it has good structure, with a harmonious sip that relies on a mineral and fresh texture; it finishes with a medium persistence. A label signed by the La Monacesca winery well received not only by Verdicchio lovers but also by some of the most important national guides in the sector.
