The winemaking process focuses exclusively on grape clusters that have achieved perfect ripeness and optimal health, characterised by vibrant green-golden hues. Aged in toasted wood for a year, the result is a wine with a complex sensory profile. Aromas of aromatic fruit salad blend harmoniously with pronounced tertiary notes of minerality, spiciness, and warm alcohol tones. Hints of menthol, liquorice, dried apricot, and honey further enhance its depth.
Its color is a luminous yellow with golden reflections. On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of subtle toastiness, yellow flowers, and oxidative tertiary aromas.
This wine pairs wonderfully with white meats, elaborately prepared fish dishes, medium-aged and aged cheeses, all Italian pasta recipes, and savoury appetisers. It is also the perfect companion for evening conversations, inviting warmth and connection.

Azienda Agricola Maraviglia

Since 2004, Azienda Agricola Maraviglia has passionately cultivated 13 hectares of vineyards in the Pianné locality of Matelica. Over the years, they have forged a deep bond with the land. Their philosophy emphasises respect for nature and meticulous attention to detail during every production stage.
The winery produces 30,000 bottles annually, divided into six labels. Filippo Maraviglia, along with his sons Davide and Ivan, left city life to focus on the vineyards. They bring passion, ambition, and respect for Matelica’s traditions. From the start, their mission has been rooted in the unique character of this territory.

Matelica sits between Mount S. Vicino, Mount Catria, and the Sibillini Mountains. Its rare transverse valley orientation creates an ideal microclimate for viticulture. These conditions allow Azienda Agricola Maraviglia to produce wines that honour local traditions while striving for continuous improvement.

Verdicchio di Matelica

Verdicchio di Matelica is a true treasure of the Marche region, crafted exclusively in this central Italian area. Strict regulations govern its production, ensuring the highest quality. The grapes are hand-harvested, typically in early September. After fermentation, the wine ages on its lees to develop complexity and depth.
This wine can be enjoyed young or aged to reveal deeper flavours over time. Its straw-yellow color, greenish reflections, and high acidity are complemented by floral, fruity, and mineral notes. Verdicchio di Matelica is also known for its distinctive saline character.

Although often compared to Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, Verdicchio di Matelica stands out. Its unique profile and exceptional quality make it one of Italy’s finest white wines.
