Verdicchio di Matelica DOC is a white wine with unique character, tarty, fruity, and clear wine. Pale straw yellow colour with hints of apple, hawthorn and broom. It is of limited production that is attracting attention from around the world. You will visit the most important wineries, you will meet the producers, walk in the vineyards and learn the production techniques especially processing to "Gujot" the double inverted method. Verdicchio of Matelica is a niche product that is becoming more and more appreciated thanks to its superior quality and ability to preserve itself in bottles.

We start the tour with a visit to the Centre of Sensory Analysis to rediscovery your own five senses. The rediscovery of your senses is developed and refined using a form of "sensory analysis", a university discipline that goes beyond simply tasting and forming real "specialists in taste." The visit is the introduction to this wonderful world of Verdicchio wine.
