Verdicchio is a native variety typical of Castelli di Jesi, an area of Central-Eastern Italy with a micro climate very favourable for the grapes.
It is said that the most expert winegrowers of the Vallesina area were the Benedettini monks during the XII and XIII centuries.
On this particularly fertile soil surrounding Staffolo, perfect for grape growing, the message has been well received setting a good example. According to the legend, in the XV century the "Lanzichenecchi" mercenaries were on the look out for land and houses to pillage and plunder. They went no further than the gates of Staffolo because they were won over by the Verdicchio of this area.
These grapes have unique characteristic as they do not produce results if grown in any other area besides the Marche region; this makes the “terroir” concept very important for the Verdicchio wine.
The Count Giovanni Baldeschi Balleani has a particular care of the cultivation, with natural methods and pruning techniques that allow a very low return by hectare, all this to favor quality.
The vintage is made in boxes at the middle of October, after the wine ferments and has only self scented notes, with a controlled temperature. The wine is left to deposit naturally and then is filtered with soft technique in order to maintain the structure and the bouquet.
Tasting: Bright, very pale gold color. Aromas of pears and white peaches LEAP from the glass accompanied by notes of minerals and pale honey. The palate is sprightly and intense with very well defined flavors of bitter almond, iodine, lime zest, and grapefruit juice. The wine is super fresh and finishes with great length.
Pairing: fish, white meats, ham, fresh cheese
