Winemaker Notes
The land has been property of the Moroder family since the beginning of the 19th century and now is experiencing a period of great vitality thanks to new policies aiming to create high quality wines. The success of these new and winning policies are also the result of the great dedication and love shown in wine production on the part of Alessandro Moroder and his wife Serenella.
The careful selection of grapes and the redesigning of the wood barrels are just a few of the secrets of the estate's success in producing "Dorico" wine, the excellence of which has been acknowledged by a number of esteemed publications.
Beyond the usual suspects, there are hundreds of red grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines, while others are better suited for use as blending grapes. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles, offering much to be discovered by the curious wine lover. In particular, Portugal and Italy are known for having a multitude of unique varieties but they can really be found in any region.
Stretching along Italy’s eastern coast with neighbors, Umbria to its west and Abruzzo to its south, Marche is a region with a varying climate from north to south. Its coastal plains roll into hills that become the Apennine Mountains, which run the length of the country. The Marche's best red wines come from the grapes, Montepulciano and Sangiovese; the local Verdicchio makes refreshing, crisp and light whites.
