Description

Where it comes from
This white originates in the heart of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, in the prized Classico Superiore version. The rows of vines are located in a vineyard in the San Nicolò district, in San Paolo di Jesi, a particularly renowned subzone that gives the wine a clear territorial identity. San Nicolò Campanelli follows a strict organic and sustainable management, meticulously respecting natural balances. This approach guarantees absolute fidelity to the soil and allows for the production of high-quality grapes, cultivated in close connection with the local ecosystem.
How it is produced
After a rigorous manual harvest, a gentle whole-bunch pressing is carried out, extracting only the delicate free-run must. Following natural static settling, fermentation starts spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts. Under the guidance of oenologist Marco Gozzi, the wine matures on its lees in cement tanks for seven months, with periodic bâtonnage designed to give breadth and depth to the palate. Structural integration is finally completed with a further ageing period of at least nine months.
