Borgo Paglianetto 2023 Verdicchio di Matelica "Petrara" 750ml

The 2023 Borgo Paglianetto Verdicchio di Matelica Petrara is a vibrant, organic white wine that showcases the mineral-driven character typical of the Matelica subzone. In the glass, it presents an intense straw-yellow color with light green flashes, suggesting its youthful freshness. The aromatic profile is immediately engaging, featuring a complex bouquet of white peach, crisp green apple, and white flowers—such as chamomile and almond blossom—underlined by a distinct flinty minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and texturally sophisticated, offering a delightful combination of savory salinity and a soft, slightly viscous mouthfeel derived from lees aging. The 2023 vintage exhibits a precise, "stony" personality with notes of citrus and green apple that lead into a long, crisp, and persistent finish with a hint of toasted almond, making it a perfect match for seafood or white meats.

 

The Petrara vineyard features high limestone and clay content, and the vines are cultivated using organic farming methods.
