VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI DOC
The grapes used to make Anno Uno are usually the ones we begin the harvest with and come from our only south east-facing vineyard.
It is our warmest vineyard and, as we want to produce a fresh, structured wine that is easy to drink, these conditions ensure decent sugar content and sufficient phenolic ripeness when it comes to the initial harvesting stage.
This is our highest-yielding vineyard, averaging 70 to 90 quintals per hectare (by comparison, the Riserva di Verdicchio DOCG specification states 90 quintals per hectare). The grapes are picked by hand and, once taken to the cellar, are destemmed and pressed.
Vinified with wild yeasts, the wine remains in steel vats as it ferments and develops.
