Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva
Wine · PDO · 8 municipalities
Recognised as a distinct DOCG since 2011, Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva is unique among regional peers because the denomination itself exists solely as a Riserva. Cultivated across only eight inland Marche municipalities, including Camerino and Fabriano, production standards restrict grape yields to 9.5 tonnes per hectare and strictly forbid enrichment. The resulting straw-yellow wine, crafted from at least 85% Verdicchio grapes, must undergo a minimum of 18 months of ageing. This aging period yields a dry, harmonious wine characterized by a delicate aroma and a characteristic, slightly bitter aftertaste.
