Sartarelli Soc.Agr. — Attraction in Poggio San Marcello

Visiting Marche has been an amazing experience, a coastline region on the Adriatic sea in central Italy with a beautiful hinterland rich in art, history, culture. Caterina Sartarelli and her family have welcomed us at the winery, founded by her grandfather, in a very warm way. The winery location is on top of a hill with a breathtaking view, you feel suspended between sky and sea, the steep hills surrounding Castelli di Jesi are beautiful. We had a wonderful tasting of verdicchio declined in different version from the brut to passito. Love the S.zero chemical free approach of this historic winery. Caterina has been great explaining us the wine making process and the refinement period of each wine, from verdicchio classico to Tralivio and Balciana, named after the hills, it’s an escalation of complex sensorial characterictics. The family has dedicated the new building to the history of the local grape, Verdicchio, and to the exhibition of contemporary artworks. The winery is surrounded by 55 hectares of vineyards and olive groves. We enjoyed the experience very much and wish Caterina and her team all the best. Licia,...

I highly recommend this winery to anyone looking to experience the best of Verdicchio and the authentic warmth of Italian...

Ci ha accolto Patrizio, attualmente a capo dell’azienda insieme alla moglie e i due figli. Simpaticissimo e pieno di aneddoti e voglia di raccontare ci ha guidato all’interno della cantina, tutti i loro vini fanno solo acciaio. Per due di loro sarebbe più giusto dire “sorprendentemente fanno solo acciaio” il Milletta, dedicato alla suocera fondatrice, ed il celeberrimo Balciana (un tipo che è stato giudicato miglior bianco al mondo nel 1999 ed è costantemente nei top ranking!! Tanto per). Vendemmiato tardivamente tra la meta’ e fine novembre, presenta un grappolo quasi rosa, con alcuni acini appena crepati da un accenno di muffa. Ha un color oro e una luminosità….scintillante. Nel bicchiere si muove lento, scivola. E in bocca….che dire, è più giusto berlo che...
