The Wine
Sandwiched between the Adriatic sea and the Apennines, the Marches is a tucked-away wine region of eastern Italy, certainly worth exploring. It boasts a beautiful landscape of sandy beaches (popular with tourists), which become progressively more hilly and mountainous as you traverse inland. The slopes closest to the Apeninne foothills are where the Matelica subregion is found, best known for its racy, lemon- and lime-fresh Verdicchios, a speciality of the Cantina Belisario winery. Highly awarded winemaker Roberto Potentini is in charge of the cellar, producing this deliciously fresh, all-Verdicchio white. Citrusy, with a touch of almond and pleasing freshness, it makes a great aperitivo and is also spot on with seafood.
"Like Il Picchio on the label, this is a piquant, lemony white – pure refreshment"
