Cantine Belisario VIGNETI del CERRO Verdicchio di Metelica

This Verdicchio Vigneti Belisario is soft and rounded, yet structured, with a nutty savoury character, a satisfying richness on the palate, and a persistent finish. The Vigneto Belisario is made from organically grown grapes. This region has a continental climate which encourages the development of aromatic qualities in the grapes, keeps production down and allows the grapes to ripen fully. It is fermented and aged in stainless steel at around 18◦ Celsius, with the must being hyperoxidised prior to fermentation in order to ensure that minimal sulphur can be used at bottling – although sulphur is the only chemical allowed under organic production, Belisario naturally aims to minimise its use. Founded in 1971, Belisario produces grapes from 300 hectares of vineyards, 24 of which are biodynamic. It is the largest producer of Verdicchio in the region of Matelica DOC. All of their Verdicchio wines exhibit great regional typicity (12 x 75 cl)

A wine of great distinction, produced only in the finest years; the slightly over-ripe verdicchio grapes are its remarkable resource. Combined with a lenghty maturation, these grapes yield a remarkably aromatic nose which releases intense scents of tosted almonds, citrus, honey, and crusted bread; with cellaring, the bouquet will develop still greater complexity. On the palate, it immediately expands to astounding richness and suppleness, balanced, rich and seemingly endless.
