The estate is located in the famous Castelli di Jesi appellation, where the hilly landscape and sea breezes create perfect conditions for vines. The producer makes several different wines, but all are crafted solely from Verdicchio. This demonstrates how versatile and complex this variety can be—from a light, refreshing everyday drink to a powerful, late-harvest masterpiece.
The classic "Sartarelli Classico" is an excellent introduction to the regional style, dominated by notes of white flowers, apples, and almonds. Meanwhile, "Tralivio" and the legendary "Balciana" (made from overripe berries) feature a viscous texture, aromas of honey and apricots, and a long finish. These are wines that frequently outperform famous Burgundy counterparts in blind tastings.
Crisper Verdicchio wines pair perfectly with seafood, sushi, baked fish, and light pasta dishes. Heavier, late-harvest wines (like "Balciana") require richer food: they wonderfully complement poultry in cream sauce, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses from our wine snacks selection.
Is it worth aging white wine?
Verdicchio specifically stands out among white varieties for its immense aging potential. Higher-tier "Sartarelli" wines can beautifully evolve in the bottle for 5–15 years, developing nutty and honeyed notes.
Should this wine be decanted before serving?
Young wines do not need it, but for mature "Tralivio" or "Balciana" wines, 30 minutes of decanting helps to quickly reveal their complex aromatic bouquet.
For what occasion is this producer best chosen?
It makes an ideal and refined gift for white wine gourmets looking to discover an alternative to classic Chardonnay.
