Poderi Mattioli

In Serra de' Conti, Verdicchio is everywhere, in the rows that line the landscape, in the agricultural history, in the heart and in the future of the companies that operate there. One of these is Podere Mattioli, today in the expert hands of the brothers Giordano and Giacomo, who years ago decided to change course compared to their father Argilio, becoming wine producers. Yes, because before 2006, from around the sixties, Poderi Mattioli did not produce wine, but only sold grapes and cereals; It was precisely in that year that the two brothers decided to change course and aim towards a production that had quality and not quantity as its watchword, as had been the case until recently. Under their guidance, we immediately moved in the direction of organic farming, thanks to the 300 meters above sea level and the strong natural ventilation of the area and, with the construction of a modern cellar immersed in the vineyards, it is now possible to act immediately after the harvesting, working the bunches from the first minutes. Thanks to the sandy soil to the east, where the grapes ripen earlier, it is possible to enhance the freshness and elegance of the wines that characterize the Esino river such as the Verdicchio Classico Superiore Ylice, while to the west the clayey soil is exploited to have a wine like Lauro, more alcoholic and more acidic. The construction of a modern organic winery completely immersed in the vineyards represented the natural completion of a project aimed at preserving and enhancing the value of the grapes which can thus be processed within minutes of their harvest. Starting from the land to get to the bunch of grapes allows us to produce quality wines with a strong territorial connotation. Grapes, wisdom and passion: this is Poderi Mattioli's way of making wine. All these characteristics have meant that the company has expanded not only in the national market, but also abroad, in Belgium, Holland, France and America, obtaining great feedback from the public and proudly spreading the Made in Italy brand.
