Description
What kind of wine it is
Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Palombare by Campanelli is a still white wine with an authentic profile, a pure expression of the Verdicchio Bianco grape variety. Recognised as Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore, this wine stands out for its straw-yellow colour with bright greenish highlights. On the palate, it offers an enveloping and structured sip, able to combine fresh drinkability with remarkable ageing potential. Its natural harmony makes it an ideal companion at the table, enhancing shellfish and lean fish, and proving equally balanced when paired with a selection of cheeses.
Where it comes from
The roots of this wine lie in the renowned Palombare district, located in the area of Sasso di Serra San Quirico, in the heart of the Marche hills. Here, the rows of vines, cultivated according to the principles of organic farming, grow at an altitude between 330 and 370 metres above sea level. The geological profile is characterised by a subsoil of marl and sandstone, with medium-textured soils combining clay and limestone and sandy veins that become more pronounced along the slope. This complex matrix ensures optimal ripening of the grapes, giving the wine a pronounced definition and a clear territorial imprint.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a rigorous manual harvest, followed by whole bunch pressing to preserve the integrity of the fruit. After static settling of the must, fermentation takes place in cement tanks thanks to the exclusive action of indigenous yeasts, reflecting a handcrafted approach aimed at enhancing the vineyard's identity. Maturation continues in cement, where the wine rests on its lees for seven months, enriched by frequent bâtonnage that impart complexity and volume. Ageing in bottle for at least nine months completes the process, consolidating the elegant texture of this limited production.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 2021 in the Marche region, the Campanelli winery enhances the local area with its elegant Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore. The grapes, grown organically in the renowned Palombare district, are harvested entirely by hand. This artisanal cuvée ferments with indigenous yeasts and matures for seven months in cement vats with frequent bâtonnage, before resting in the bottle. The expert craftsmanship delivers a full-bodied and structured sip, ideal for harmoniously accompanying shellfish and lean fish.
