Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi “Quercia Antica” – Velenosi • Grape Variety and Region – Pure Verdicchio from the Velenosi vineyards in the Marche region (Ascoli Piceno). • Vinification – After destemming, the grapes are transferred to the press. Fermentation begins in steel tanks until approximately 2% alcohol is reached, then the must is transferred to new French oak barriques where fermentation is completed. During this period, daily bâtonnage (stirring of the lees) is performed. • Aging – After approximately 4 months, the wine is separated from the fine lees and returned to barriques, where it ages for a further 12 months before bottling. This complex process gives it structure, notes of ripe fruit, and a hint of vanilla. Charmat Method
