The Verdicchio "Lauro" is an elegant, dynamic white wine, intensely floral. Pleasant and lively notes of fruit, anise, and hazelnut stand out from a soft and fresh aromatic texture, with good sapidity and balance.

The Verdicchio Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Riserva “Lauro” by Poderi Mattioli originates in the province of Ancona, precisely in Serra de’ Conti. The winery was founded in the 1960s by Argilio Mattioli, a son of the trade as his father Armando was already working in the wine production world. The work philosophy is oriented towards the passion for work and respect for the territory, so that every product is excellent. Alongside grape production, the cultivation of wheat and olive groves also become fundamental, ideal for creating a flourishing and stable ecosystem, so that the wine has excellent quality. The chosen cultivation regime is organic, so that the intrinsic value and potential of the grapes can always find expression.

The vineyard of the Verdicchio Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Riserva “Lauro” by Poderi Mattioli is located in the area of “Mogliette”. Its altitude is about 300 meters above sea level and the exposure is to the west; the soil is mainly of medium texture and is mainly composed of clay for wines with a strong and structured character. The climate is characterized by cold winters and hot, sultry summers, an ideal climate for fully developing the aromas and flavors of the grapes. The harvest is carried out at full ripeness of the grapes; in the winery, the bunches undergo soft pressing with a subsequent selection of the free-run must. In steel tanks, alcoholic fermentation takes place for 15/20 days. It ages in steel for 20 months.
