VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI
DOC SPUMANTE METODO CLASSICO DOSAGGIO ZERO

We decided to call this bottle-fermented sparkling wine “1622” to honor the Benedictine Monk Francesco Scacchi from Fabriano. In his volume “De salubri potu dissertatio”, dated 1622, therefore preceding the birth of Dom Perignon, he theoretically spoke about the advantages of wine storage, thus outlining the basic elements of sparkling wine production that we know at present.

VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI
DOC CLASSICO

The name Native originates from the historical presence of Verdicchio grapes in the Marche region as well as from its cultivation in the rolling hills around the Esino Valley. Our Native resumes the traditional wine practice of spontaneous wine fermentation by means of indigenous yeasts. Combined with modern wine-making technology, it allows us to obtain a wine which is closely linked to the territory and which gives an elegant drinking pleasure.

VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI
DOC – CLASSICO SUPERIORE

The name Villaia has its origins from the rural tradition of the Marche region, where the threshing-floor outside rural houses was not just where the grain was threshed, but was also the family’s center of social activity. Verdicchio wine was always present in the convivial moments of country life and we want to re-evoke these traditional country rites with Villaia’s natural typicality.

ROSSO PICENO DOC

Caccialepre, name of a spontaneously grass (Reichardia Picroides), that thrives on the edges of our vineyards. This tasty, healthful plant was always present in local cuisine of Marche, along with Rosso Piceno wine, which our Caccialepre is a very interesting interpretation.

ROSSO PICENO DOC

Re di Ras (King of Ras) is the name in Marche dialect of the wren, which is often seen in our vineyards. In local folk tradition, this pretty bird is considered the King of the birds. In fact there is a legend, according to which, to decide who was king, the birds held a competition to see which one could fly the highest. Using its cleverness, the wren won out over the eagle. We chose this metaphor because we believe that our small production of Rosso Piceno “Re di Ras” can compete in quality with the great Italian red wines.

The early harvest – which takes place in the first half of September, when the fruit is still in the ripening phase – gives this oil unique organoleptic properties which cannot be recreated using fruit collected from subsequent harvests. The extremely small amount produced makes this oil a rare product, for true aficionados.
