WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Terravignata Verdicchio di Matelica is made from 100% Verdicchio grapes grown in the Pagliano vineyard, which is approximately 20 years old and situated at an average altitude of 350 meters. The vineyard soils are predominantly clay-limestone. Viticulture has recently transitioned to organic farming, with grapes harvested at a moderate ripeness level to ensure freshness and verticality. Vinification involves fermentation in white within vitrified cement tanks under controlled temperatures. The wine is characterized as young and fresh, with typical aging for this style often occurring in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant qualities.
