Matelica, the land of Verdicchio 🥂

My tasting knowledge of Verdicchio di Matelica was fairly limited so far to a few wine producers of the area.

I have had the fortune to be able to discover more this weekend thanks to the Matelica Wine Festival. Matelica Wine Festival

Yesterday, they had the inauguration dinner under the loggia in the central square of the town. There, we could taste mainly younger vintages of Verdicchio di Matelica - 2020 and 2021 - there were a couple of 2019 and 2018 too.

I also ran into the oenologist Goffredo Agostini who it turns out collaborates with the Matelica winery .

The wines in the photos above are

Cantina Cavalieri
Azienda Maraviglia
Borgo Paglianetto
Bisci Wines
Tenuta Grimaldi - Wine Resort

Which is your favorite Verdicchio di Matelica wine❓..

When I visited Mamoiada in Sardegna earlier this summer, it was an experience of discovery.

It was fascinating to learn more about the energy and activity of the Mamoiada vintners that is going on since 2019.

The Mamoiada vintners association was constituted in 2015 but it had a small makeover in 2019 with the creation of the Mamojà Vives yearly event. A lot of younger vintners, from the younger generation, has since then started up on their own by taking over the family vineyards or started to work in the family winery.

✅ There is a tendency towards fresher, more fruit-forward, and drinkable wines...without losing in structure and complexity.

✅ A younger generation is, as mentioned above, starting to make its voice heard.

✅ There are 200 families who make wine in Mamoiada, a comune of 2500 inhabitants, and 33 of these bottle their wines. 77 of these are members of the Mamoiada vintners association. Most, if not all, of the member vintners are naturally organic even if not certified as the area is very suited for viticulture.

Have you been to the Mamoiada area❓
