ColleStefano

Verdicchio di Matelica from central Italy's mineral heartland.

ColleStefano is situated in Marche, a region in central Italy known for crisp white wines and mineral-driven expressions. The winery focuses on Verdicchio, the region's signature variety—a grape prized for its acidity, body, and ability to reflect terroir. Their Verdicchio di Matelica, sourced from one of Marche's most esteemed subzones, demonstrates the variety's characteristic structure and complexity. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have both assessed the winery's output, recognizing the quality of its flagship white. Verdicchio di Matelica carries the DOCG designation, marking it among Italy's most rigorously classified wines. The wine balances the freshness typical of the variety with the depth that Matelica's limestone-rich soils impart.
