“Grappoli D’Oro” Golden Grapes is the best way to define the viticultural history of their Riserva of Verdicchio di Matelica.

The winemaking process is dedicated only to the grape clusters that have reached perfect ripeness and are in optimal health, with green-golden hues. Aged in toasted wood, after a year, the result is a wine with a complex sensory profile of aromatic fruit salad and strong tertiary notes of mineralization, spiciness, and alcohol warmth, often complemented by hints of menthol, liquorice, dried apricot, and honey. Its color is yellow with golden reflections. The nose is rich, slight toasting, yellow floral, and oxidative tertiary aromas. This wine is excellent with white meats, elaborately prepared fish, medium-aged and aged cheeses, all Italian pasta dishes, as well with savoury appetisers. It is perfect to share during evening conversations.

From father to son, Filippo Maraviglia, today joined by his sons Davide and Ivan, left the city to dedicate himself to the vineyards with passion, ambition, and deep respect for the nature and traditions of this territory. Since the beginning, the roots on which they decided to found their company have been indissolubly linked to the territory that welcomed them. The success of their wines is due to these lands, their sense of belonging to them, and the respect that derives from it. Their vineyards are located in the Pianné locality of Matelica. Located in the center of the valley between Mount S. Vicino to the east, Mount Catria to the west, and the Sibillini Mountains to the south, the Matelica area is in fact the only one in the Marche region to be arranged transversely, generating a microclimate perfect for viticulture. It is in these favourable conditions that they produce wines, committing themselves to maintain the promise of a wine strictly linked to the local tradition, while at the same time trying to improve year after year to confirm its excellence.
