Description
What kind of wine it is
Ylice, produced by Poderi Mattioli, is a still organic white wine made from Verdicchio grapes from the Marche region, representing the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore denomination. Aged in steel, it offers a fragrant bouquet with notes of acacia, white-fleshed peach and a characteristic almond aroma. On the palate, it delivers a complex and enveloping sip, supported by pronounced savouriness that finishes with a fresh, citrusy note.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Serra de’ Conti, in the heart of the historic Castelli di Jesi area. The grapes ripen in the La Spina vineyard, located at around three hundred and fifty metres above sea level with optimal south and south-east exposure. The vines grow on medium-textured sandy soil, surrounded by an oak forest: a natural setting that imparts a marked mineral vein to the wine. The name Ylice pays homage to the ancient medieval villa “castellare de Ylice”, a toponym derived from the Latin term for the holm oak tree, a historic symbol of the local landscape.
How it is produced
The manual harvest involves selecting the bunches in two stages, combining early-ripening grapes with fully ripe ones to achieve perfect balance. Part of the harvest undergoes cold skin maceration, followed by gentle pressing to extract only the free-run must. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, avoiding malolactic conversion to preserve the wine’s original freshness and vigour. Maturation in steel with frequent bâtonnage continues for several months, ensuring the wine gains structure and complexity before the final ageing.
History and Curiosities
The name Ylice is inspired by the “castellare de Ylice”, a historic 12th-century villa that once stood near the Poderi Mattioli winery. Derived from the Latin term ilex (holm oak), this place name preserves the ancient memory of the Marche region. This heritage lives on today in the grapes of the La Spina vineyard in Serra de’ Conti: a precious sandy cru, bordered by an oak forest, which gives the organic Verdicchio a distinct savouriness and an innate elegance.

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.
