MARCHE
| Accattoli Verdicchio di Matelica DOC The ancient Verdicchio vine is a symbol of
the Marche region. Located
in the hills of Matelica, the Accattoli winery was founded in 1958 and is located in the town of Recanati. The production of the Verdicchio di Matelica is only
one-tenth of the production of the Verdicchio di Castelli thereby
making this a much sought after wine.
Front Label Translation: "From the charming hills of Matelica rises our Verdicchio. An antique vine that became the symbol of the Marche region. The grapes are harvested at the end of October and processed in the traditional vinification method. It has a straw yellow color with green reflections ......." Tasting notes: It is characterized by bright, lemony fruit with earthy aspects and a refreshingly crisp acidity.
Review: "It's herbal and intense, with "grassy" and white-fruit aromas and flavors reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc. Plenty of fruit on the palate and a hint of stony minerality, with mouth-watering acidity to hold it in shape. Tasted later with food, it was a virtual epiphany with a shrimp dish over pappardelle."
