ALARICO
The writer Cimarelli in 1600 describes that in 410 AD Alarico king of the Visigoti, left Le Marche to defeat the Romans with forty mules loaded
with barrels of Verdicchio because nothing else rendered his warriors more warlike and braver than Verdicchio. This is how Cimarelli says how
the king of the Barbarians contrived to defeat the Roman Empire. That this is legend or fact, is history or pure pride, is a testimony to the
qualities of Verdicchio: its force, elegance, taste and drinkability. Maturities and characteristics that remain still. Alarico is an example
of excellence of the native typology of the Verdicchio di Matelica: (cru). After the vinification obtained from classical techniques to an advanced
maturity, it is elevated in stainless steel vats, and reaches its correct equilibrium in May or June each year subsequent to the grape harvest.
It is then refined in bottles for at least two months at constant temperatures to then become Verdicchio di Matelica DOC. This is an absolutely
unique wine that reflects the best of the territory.
