2023 Stefano Zoli Verdicchio di Matelica, Marche, Italy
$26.00
Stefano is “trying to make the Chablis of Italy,” he says beaming, taking inspiration from the mineral-dense regions of Northern Burgundy. From his first vintage, to the one coming onto market—2022—today, the vigorous character of these 70+ year-old vines has allowed Stefano to make a savory, vinous, and electric cuvée of Verdicchio. From his perspective, the winemaking begins in the vineyard, and all three vineyards—Vigna Belrespiro, Vigna Cordovani, Vigna Vasconi—which are blended into the normale bottling, are rich in calcareous marl and clay, and grown organically. For the first time, Stefano will also release a Riserva bottling that exclusively comes from his oldest vine plot and goes through an extended élevage with the 2022 vintage.
