    Winemaker Notes

    Verdicchio di Matelica, a dry white wine, DOC from the Marche region of central Italy, is one of Italy's very top white wines. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 400 meters on slopes that form part of the Apennines. The landscape is varied and undulating. Many of the hills are crowned with castles that were constructed between the 12th and 14th centuries.

    The terroir is ideal for the cultivation of vines as the climate is continental and the soils are mineral rich with a calcareous clay content. The wine is noted for its fresh fragrant and harmonious character. It shows fine balance and structure and has great complexity when aged for several years. As it ages, it becomes more full bodied and has softer acidity than the younger Verdicchio wines.

    The subtle Verdicchio flavors and delicate aromas allow it to pair very well with a variety of foods. Enjoy it with oysters, salt crusted fish, prosciutto and Caprese salad.

    Colavita, Italy
    "Vita" is Italian for life. Not just life, but life lived well, full of passion for good food, good company and great wine. At Colavita, we believe in crafting wines worth exploring and sharing.

    The Colavita family traces its roots to the small town of Sant'Elia a Piansi, where, four generations ago, Giovanni Colavita founded the family olive oil tradition and Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil was born. Over the years, the Colavita family became masters at the delicate craft of "tasting" and blending olive oils and wines. Colavita wines boast key vineyard selection, harvesting grapes for each wine from their most ideal growing regions.

    Italian White Wine

    The rolling hills and endless coastlines of Italy deliver a unique diversity of soils and climate to foster a number of regional specialties. With a multitude of indigenous varieties that thrive exclusively here, the selection of white wines offers a range of styles and flavors.

    The most well-known white variety in Italy is of course Pinot Grigio. Typically found in the northern Italian regions, the light, fresh and easy-drinking options can be found in the Veneto region, while the richer, more complex styles come from Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige. These two northeast regions are also crafting delicions Pinot Bianco and a regional specialty, Friulano.

    In Piedmont, two white regions shine. The crisp and zippy Gavi, made with a Cortese grape, and Arneis, a variety that produces a subtle by dry wine. In the Veneto, the Garganegna grape creates the wine of Soave, a zesty but medium-bodied wine full of rich stone fruit and floral notes.

    Further south, you'll find the pretty and floral Falenghina, rich and tropical Grillo and zesty Greco. Head to Sicily to discover the delicious and complex Etna Biancos, made with the Carricante grape in the island's volcanic soils.

    If you enjoy a tangy but textured white wine with seafood, head to Sardinia and try out the Vermentino there. The grape is also found in other Italian provinces and is always a delight.
