This wine is produced entirely from our own Verdicchio grapes. It is the first wine to be released on the market between March and April. It is characterized by the presence of fresh fruit aromas (mainly apple) and, being a non-aromatic wine, floral and vegetal notes can be detected. It has a good structure and balance. It fully represents all the characteristics of the vintage Verdicchio from Matelica.
