ABOUT THIS WINE
Borgo Paglianetto is located in the heart of the Marche region, specifically in the landlocked Alta Valle dell’Esino. This unique valley runs North-to-South, creating a continental microclimate with dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. Certified organic since 2013, the estate focuses on low-impact viticulture. The 'Petrara' bottling comes from vineyards situated at 350 to 400 meters above sea level, planted on ancient clay-limestone soils rich in marine fossils, which impart a distinct mineral character to the wine.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Petrara emphasizes purity and terroir expression. Grapes are hand-harvested from late September to early October. They undergo gentle pressing under reductive conditions to prevent oxidation and preserve fresh aromatics. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using native yeasts, ensuring a clean, precise representation of the Verdicchio grape without oak influence.
