Description
What type of wine it is
Vertis Borgo Paglianetto is a still white wine of excellent character, an authentic expression of Verdicchio from the Marche region. This Verdicchio di Matelica offers an elegant and structured profile, characterised by an exuberant freshness well-balanced by a pleasant smoothness. On the palate, it is dynamic, with an intense savoury drive and a long, dense finish that recalls the varietal notes. On the nose, it presents a wide olfactory range, where vegetal sensations, hints of medlar, lime, and peach stand out, enriched by medicinal herbs and a rich mineral and smoky vein. Its complexity makes it a wine of remarkable depth.
Where it comes from
This Verdicchio originates in the municipality of Matelica, in the heart of the Marche, in a territory particularly suited to viticulture. The vineyards, with an average age of 35 years, are situated at an altitude of 400 metres above sea level, benefiting from a south-facing exposure that ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. The clay-limestone soil contributes decisively to giving the wine its distinct minerality and structure.
How it is produced
The production of this wine follows careful methods to preserve its purity and aromatic intensity. After the harvest, which takes place in October, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This fundamental step enhances the fresh and fruity characteristics of the grape variety. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a long ageing period: it rests for 15 months in steel, developing complexity without altering its primary nature, and then completes its journey with a further 4 months in the bottle before being ready for tasting.
History and interesting facts
The Borgo Paglianetto Verdicchio Matelica Vertis 2023 carries with it a history rooted in the lands of Matelica. This exceptional wine, whose first vintage was produced in two thousand and seven, comes from vines boasting an average age of thirty-five years, cultivated with passion and dedication at four hundred metres above sea level, exposed to the warm southern sun. The artisanal care of this independent winemaker is reflected in every stage, enhancing the purity of a grape variety that continues to collect prestigious awards, such as the Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri.
