This white wine always comes from the “Le Oche” vineyard in Montecarotto. The grapes are carefully selected, one or two per plant at most, and then proceed to the vinification phase. The vineyard's exposure is South-West, and the soil is sandy and clayey, at an altitude of 380 meters. Biodynamic and organic farming is not a spur-of-the-moment choice, but simply doing well and doing good for the environment and the vine itself. Nature and patience. Respect for natural rhythms in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar. Making wine as it once was. Fermentation occurs only with indigenous yeasts in steel, with a 20-day maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation completed. The aging period is divided into three stages: 2 months in concrete, 36 months in steel on lees, then 6 months in bottle.

Tasting notes:

The Verdicchio "Campo delle Oche" has a deep straw-yellow color with golden reflections. The nose reveals nuances of spices, herbs, and hay. Remarkable complexity of ripe fruit, acacia, almond, and chamomile notes, with hints of honey and saffron. The significant alcohol content on the palate supports a warm, marine, savory, opulent sip, with well-perceptible fruit and great potential, notable persistence, and spicy, almondy finishes.
