Verdicchio
Verdicchio is the name of the white wine obtained with grapes from the vine of the same name, undoubtedly the most important in the Marche region. Verdicchio seems to have been exported to the Marche from the Verona area, while evident similarities link it to Trebbiano di Soave and Trebbiano di Lugana. At least starting from the fourteenth century, the two areas involved in the production of Verdicchio concern the area west of the city of Ancona where Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is produced; the other, located on the southernmost border with Umbria, is known for the production of Verdicchio di Matelica. Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is a wine with a medium or full body and the olfactory and gustatory references to white flowers, lemon verbena, mandarin are evident, with good flavor and minerality that make it pleasant and refreshing. Verdicchio grapes, thanks to their high acidity and alcoholic potential, can give long-lived and surprisingly balanced wines. In the past, according to a trend that is gradually regaining attention, Verdicchio was fermented in contact with the skins, thus giving a more material and dense wine, with greater body and creaminess.
Verdicchio di Matelica
Verdicchio di Matelica is grown in the hilly areas of the province of Macerata and production in terms of quantity is lower than that of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. Verdicchio di Matelica was once reputed to be more expressive on the olfactory side with hints of apricot, peach, honey and almonds that hinted at great structure on the palate and long persistence. Today, with the drastic reduction of the areas under vines destined for Vermentino Castelli di Jesi, it seems to have lost part of its leadership. In any case, it remains very interesting to try the Verdicchio version of Matelica Riserva DOCG which must be aged for 18 months before being placed on the market.
What are the best combinations with Verdicchio?
The best combinations for Verdicchio are fried, stuffed or grilled vegetables, baked fish or fish soups, roast beef, lasagna with vegetables, grilled chicken.
What are the characteristics of Verdicchio wine?
With sensible organoleptic differences between Verdicchio di Matelica and Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, it can be argued that Verdicchio expresses floral and fruity scents ranging from wisteria to peach, from cedar to almond blossom. Body and fullness are ensured by great aromatic density and an excellent structure, as well as a considerable alcohol content, making it persistent on the palate and suitable for aging.
Which are the best companies for the production of Verdicchio di Matelica?
Among the best companies for the production of Verdicchio di Matelica certainly appear La Monacesca, Marani and Belisario.
