The bouquet harmonises aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits and green apple with subtle hints of ginger and cardamom. On the palate, it reveals a full body, balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003evibrant acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pronounced mineral streak. The long, persistent finish evokes saline notes and hints of wild fennel, pairing perfectly with raw fish, pasta with pesto and \u003cstrong\u003eblue cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in the Marche region, in the heart of the Camertina Valley, on the hills of Castelraimondo. The vineyards are situated at over four hundred metres above sea level and benefit from a temperate climate with a marked mountain influence. The significant \u003cstrong\u003etemperature variation\u003c\/strong\u003e encourages slow ripening and precise aromatic definition. The medium-textured soils, characterised by a rich \u003cstrong\u003elimestone component\u003c\/strong\u003e and a north-east exposure, are crucial in giving the wine its \u003cstrong\u003eprofound savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollestefano employs viticulture based on strict organic methods.

The free-run must ferments slowly at a controlled temperature, deliberately avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve the fruit's integrity and energy. The winemaking process includes \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e for four months on fine lees, followed by a period of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e which stabilises its purity and overall balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1998, Fabio Marchionni has continued the winemaking tradition started by his family in the 1970s, creating a \u003cstrong\u003eVerdicchio di Matelica DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e of undeniable elegance.
