“Terravignata” is a Verdicchio di Matelica from Borgo di Paglianetto, which sees the light in the company estate of Pagliano, cultivated under certified organic farming. The soil is clayey-limestone, and the cool climate, with strong temperature fluctuations, allows the Verdicchio to reach excellent expressive levels. To preserve the freshness and aromatic fragrance intact, the grapes come only from some west-facing vineyards and are harvested slightly early compared to the full phenolic ripeness of the berry. The bunches undergo soft pressing, and the free-run must is sent for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Before bottling, the wine matures for 4 months in steel tanks, precisely to preserve its expressive immediacy intact.

The Verdicchio di Matelica "Terravignata" by Borgo di Paglianetto is the expression of the youthful exuberance of the grape variety, aimed at enhancing especially its pleasantly fresh, vertical, citrusy, and fruity character. In the glass, it presents a beautiful and bright straw-yellow color with slight greenish reflections. The bouquet is fragrant, with delicate aromas of orange blossom and white flowers, hints of aromatic herbs, aromas of lime, grapefruit, green apple, cartucciaro melon, white peach, fresh almond, and iodized memories. The sip is clear and taut, easy and smooth, with crunchy fruit and a finish characterized by the freshness and salinity typical of the terroir.
