The valley of Matelica, in the Marche region, is a unique territory. Set amongst the Apennine Mountains, with a huge temperature difference between day and night, ancient chalky soils and crystal clear air set the perfect landscape to create a a great Mountain Verdicchio.
"Here amongst these vines, with these wise old ladies that keep me company, I try with every gesture to interpret and feel this territory. Through Matelica, deep inside me I have a game of intimacy, of freedom. The vine, the wine and my world.
In the cellar I let the grapes and the vintage express themselves. There are no shortcuts or tricks, I simply preserve what the vines gave me. I look for the most crystalline, carefree and clear aspect of the grape variety." Stefano Zoli.
A great wine, artisanal, softly breathing and powerful, for those who travel, experiment and interact with nature: a wine ready to tell a story.
Stefano suggests to enjoy together with a good sound like: “Pushin’ On” The Quantic Soul Orchestra

| Fragrance | Aromas of citrus, peach, pear, apple with a tropical touch and good persistence. By rotating the glass, vegetal notes of lime, elder, hawthorn and mimosa also blossom. The herbaceous scents are reminiscent of broom, but also chamomile, more rarely acacia and jasmine. |
