Verdicchio di Matelica is a dry white wine produced in Italy’s Marche region from at least 85% Verdicchio grapes. Apart from the most popular still white wine, it also comes in spumante (sparkling) and passito (sweet) varieties.
The wines are fresh, bright, and fragrant, with strong floral, citrus, and fruit aromas, while aged varieties may display slightly stronger notes of almond, anise, or honey. Because of its good acidity, Matelica Verdicchio pairs exceptionally well with fish, but it can also work well with pasta, poultry, cheese, and charcuterie.
