Verdicchio di Matelica 'Vertis' Borgo di Paglianetto 2023
De "Vertis" is een Verdicchio van Matelica, fris en slank, gevinifieerd en gerijpt in staal. De naam op het etiket komt van het Latijnse vertere, wat draaien betekent, en identificeert het hoogste punt, namelijk de maximale expressie van de oudste en langstlevende wijngaarden van het landgoed. Met een glanzende strogele kleur met groenige en gouden glans, doet het denken aan aroma's van wit fruit, citrus, hints van anijs, venkel en veldbloemen. De smaak speelt met een heldere en sprankelende zoute frisheid, ondersteund door een bescheiden zachtheid.
The Verdicchio di Matelica “Vertis”, produced by Borgo di Paglianetto, is the classic version of the most typical and identity-rich white of the territory. It is the ideal bottle to understand the specificity of Matelica and its wines. In this area far from the sea, characterized by a very cool climate, Verdicchio expresses itself by combining the structure and aromatic richness typical of the grape variety, with the freshness and sapidity of a particularly vocated terroir. It is an exciting white, which pairs wonderfully with seafood first courses, grilled or baked fish.
Verdicchio di Matelica “Vertis” from Borgo di Paglianetto is born in an estate that extends over about 25 hectares, in the central area of the Valle di Matelica. The vineyards are managed in perfect harmony with the environment, under a certified organic farming regime, using only sulfur and copper for treatments. The vineyards are located in the Pagliano area, with a sunny exposure mainly facing south, on medium-textured soils composed of limestone and clay. The harvest takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October, with the harvest of perfectly ripe bunches. The grapes undergo a soft pressing, in order to extract only the must flower, which is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine rests for 6 months in steel tanks and completes its aging with a few months in the bottle before being released on the market.
Verdicchio di Matelica “Vertis”, produced by the winery Borgo di Paglianetto, is a splendid expression of one of the most vocated territories in Italy for the production of great whites.

On the palate, it is harmonious, with a perfect expressive balance between the pleasant and juicy fruity richness and a finish of great freshness and sapidity.
