'Ylice' Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Superiore Poderi Mattioli 2022

Around the 12th century, an ancient villa known as “il castellare de Ylice” stood near the cellar. The name was probably due to the Latin term ilex (holm oak), a particular variety of oak very common in the area. To date, no trace of this historic villa has remained, but the passion and respect for our territory has prompted the winery to hand down the name of that ancient presence. Ylice is the wine chosen to capture and enhance the value and typicality of the "La Spina" vineyard; a vineyard planted with verdicchio located on sandy soil that rises close to a luxuriant forest of oaks, to all intents and purposes a small "Cru" within the Verdicchio Classico cultivation area. Taking care of the vines in full respect of the territory, carefully checking every single intervention and working with passion in the cellar allows us to offer a unique wine, made of great freshness, excellent drinkability and innate elegance. Of straw yellow hue with evident greenish reflections, it is crossed by excellent luminosity. The olfactory baggage is intensely perfumed, especially fragrant, floral and fruity sensations stand out. Notes of acacia and yellow rose, white-fleshed peach and a clear almond aroma are perceived, typical of the Verdicchio vine. At the end, a light vegetable touch. The taste is distinguished by the complexity of the aromas, the persistence and above all by the important savory timbre which will determine durability and elegance in the evolutionary capacity; in the final, fresh and enveloping, a pleasant citrus scent emerges.
