Description
What kind of wine it is
Campanelli Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Le Contrade is a still white wine from the Marche region. Made from Verdicchio grapes, it follows an artisanal approach. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and ageing in cement tanks on the lees give it structure and elegance. It pairs ideally with fish dishes and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore originates in the Marche, among the vineyards of San Paolo di Jesi, Cupramontana and Serra San Quirico. The area expresses an identity linked to specific micro-terroirs. The vines sink their roots into soils with a clay-limestone and sandy matrix, with subsoils of marl and sandstone. This composition gives a clean profile and a natural balance between structure and tension.
How it is produced
The process follows a sustainable philosophy, starting with a rigorous manual harvest of the grapes. In the winery, a gentle whole-bunch pressing is carried out to extract only the free-run must. After static settling, spontaneous fermentation begins. The absence of wood and ageing on the lees preserve the aromatic definition, delivering an authentic sip that is true to its origin.
History and Curiosities
The Campanelli “Le Contrade” 2024 is an authentic expression of the Marche region. This fine Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore is made from hand-picked grapes grown in vineyards managed according to an artisan and sustainable philosophy. The winemaking process involves gentle whole-bunch pressing to extract only the free-run juice, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The elegant maturation in concrete on the lees for three months gives the wine a balanced character, making it perfect for enhancing fish dishes and cheeses.
