Description
The Authentic Expression of Lauro Riserva
Verdicchio Castelli di Jesi Classico Lauro Riserva Poderi Mattioli is an elegant and structured organic white wine, a clear representation of the Marche region. Produced exclusively from Verdicchio grapes, this wine is a proud ambassador of the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) of the classic and historical area. On the palate, it is fresh and velvety, supported by remarkable richness and a long-lingering finish. On the nose, it expresses clear notes of yellow peach and almond, the result of expert fermentation in stainless steel that enhances freshness and varietal character.
The Ancient Vineyards of Serra de' Conti
The grapes for this Verdicchio originate in Serra de' Conti, in the prestigious Castelli di Jesi area, at an altitude of three hundred metres above sea level. The vines, grown on medium-textured clay soils with a western exposure, are over forty years old. The historic vineyard, named Mogliette and planted in 1971, benefits from an ideal microclimate for slow and complete grape ripening. The wine's name pays homage to an ancient laurel hedge that still surrounds these old vines today, a resting place for past generations of winegrowers after tiring harvest days.
The Slow Maturation Process in the Cellar
Production begins with a manual late-harvest, selecting bunches at a stage of slight over-ripening to obtain a greater aromatic concentration. In the cellar, gentle pressing takes place to extract only the free-run juice, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and partial malolactic fermentation. Ageing continues for eighteen to twenty months, also in steel, with prolonged bâtonnage, a process capable of imparting extraordinary density and structural depth. Before being released to the market, the cycle concludes with significant bottle ageing of eight to ten months, ensuring great refinement.
History and curiosities
The name of this exceptional wine originates from a fascinating story linked to the territory. It draws inspiration from a laurel hedge located near the historic Mogliette vineyard. Here, the producer's grandfather and the workers used to sit and rest at the end of long and tiring harvest days. Still today, this iconic hedge surrounds the historic vineyard, planted back in 1971, keeping the memory of past generations alive. The old vines, at over 40 years of age, enrich the bond with tradition.

The construction of a modern, organically run winery, completely immersed in the vineyards, was the natural completion of a project aimed at preserving and enhancing the value of the grapes, which can thus be processed just a few minutes after their harvest. Starting from the earth and arriving at the bunch of grapes allows us to produce quality wines with a strong territorial connotation. Grapes, knowledge and passion: this is our way of making wine.
