The best wineries in Macerata.
The Fontezoppa company is a strong statement of will, already in its name, that, although harsh, refers to the ancient source that was located where the vineyards are today. A tenacious desire of bonds with names, feelings, memories that those lands and those spaces evoke, even with the stories that are told by those people who, from that land, know to have taken substance and soul.
Fontezoppa, today, is the result of a project that is not to be considered accomplished, but that has found its form in a winery, where essentiality tries to show how itself as simple harmony, where concrete, wood, steel, and even barrels, seem to have always been there, among those vines that change every day: from skinny branches to gems, to tender greens that are repeated in a symmetrical way down the hill.
and ... perhaps, it is understandable that the eyes of our entrepreneurs do not get tired of caressing these hills, their memories, of loving the names of the traditions. The vineyards are located in Civitanova and partly to Serrapetrona. Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet, Lacrima, but also Maceratino, Incrocio Bruni, Pecorino are the grape varieties planted around Civitanova Alta, just a gaze away from the sea.
Azienda Agricola Quacquarini Lanfranco, thanks to the experience gained over time, both in the cultivation of vineyards and in the art of wine making, can rightly boast the distinction of being among the leading companies in the area.
The company is family run, it has started its activities around the fifties with the father of Lanfranco, Raffaele, who acknowledged in Vernaccia an excellent wine to make known and in 1960 began its production and sale. In 2010 he celebrated the 50th anniversary of the founding of the winery.
The company covers an area of 60 hectares, of which 12 are specialized in vine. The vineyard is elevated in contained forms (Guyot) with a charge of 8 to10 buds, so as to ensure a production that ranges around 4 kg/strain.
The recourse to the normal growing techniques, in accordance with the regulations governing biological control, in addition to the advanced technologies of the winery, allow to enhance the integrity and originality of this red sparkling wine.
The company was founded in early 2014 as a result of a joint project between the territory of Matelica (Province of Macerata, Marche) and the RPO.VI.MA winery, the oldest in the region.
The production of wine is made mainly of local DOC, especially of the white "Verdicchio di Matelica" and the red "Colli Maceratesi". Our goal is to promote the best products of this great company, which has its roots in Matelica since 1932.
Our team is highly trained and knows the great potential of its wines. The grapes, harvested with classic method and worked with the most modern equipment, come mainly from vineyards of Matelica, that are located 300–350 meters above sea level.
Montesanto has been for a long time synonymous with quality wines. Its activity started in 1968 when some wine producers in the area felt the need to join.
Today, the participating producers are more than 210 with a vineyard area of about 190 hectares, which extends into the hills of Recanati, Loreto, Potenza Picena, Montelupone, Morrovalle, Civitanova Alta, Macerata, Montecassiano, Treia and Montefano.
Montesanto operates with a simple organizational level: the producer has the task, with the collaboration of our technicians, to follow the vineyard to the harvest stage to get healthy and selected grapes, the fundamental basis for the subsequent processing to wine; a processing done with a modern vinification technique, based on the gentle pressing of the grapes and the use of cold for fermentation control. This process allows to offer a good quality product.
The restoration of an old gentleman’s house in the hills of Macerata and the magnificent exposure of itd land were the inspiration for the birth of the Sant’Isidoro winery, which proposes itself on the national wine scene with very solid reasons, the same that led to the realization of the dwelling to which the winery owes its name.
The vineyards, all in the municipality of Corridonia, cover thirteen hectares in soil conditions characterized by clayey and limestone lands particularly suited to obtain products of the utmost quality and health.
The grapes grown here have been chosen taking into account the historical traditions of the area where the winery is located, enriching them with international varieties that adapt in the best way to the exposure of the vineyards and their soil situation.
All the operations of collection and vinification take place respecting and choosing the grapes according to an as orthodox as possible belief in wine and winemaking, leaving no room for risky schools of thought.
The winemaking tradition of the Santori family was founded in 1960.
It continues now in the hills of the true Marca of Corridonia and Villa San Filippo, Monte San Giusto, lands open to the winds, long views, varied, sunlight in the morning and light after sunset.
Thirteen hectares of long rows towards south where the Santori try to create a vineyard that ripens in grapes the emotion of a sensory profile recognizable for cleanliness, integrity, elegance.
The Santori wines come from an idea to do a snall amount of wine and do it well.
In the wine cellar, in addition to technological excellence there is the pleasure of making time work, which is the most expensive but less often used. Time is the basis of the know–how of the Santori wine.
The Santori wines are a tradition, a work of years, between countryside and winery, between eye and taste, between beautiful and good.
Azienda Agricola Villa Lazzarini farm owes its name to the place where its wine–making business began, which until 2009 was owned by the Lazzarini family. Counts Lazzarini settled in the Marche region, perhaps, since the year 1000 and with certainty since 1247 as demonstrated by the plaque found in Morrovalle of Macerata which proves that the Morro di Valle castle was in the possession of Count Lazzarino (Information taken from "I conti Lazzarini di Morrovalle" by Lanfranco Lazzarini).
The same Lazzarini around the first half of the 19th century owned land and a villa in the "Cimarella" district, currently owned by our Azienda Agricola Villa Lazzarini farm. The corporate brand with two dolphins stylized in a modern style inside a shield show the origins and the historical value of those places. The Villa Lazzarini farm, therefore, was founded in 2009 by the passion for wine of its protagonists, determined to realize the dream of their wine production, in the wake of the experience gained in farming by some of their parents.
The objective is the enhancement of the original vines in the area of Macerata and with the imprint of our territory the characterization of other types of vines. Our philosophy is based on a production of wines of high quality, respecting the environment and nature. The vineyard management is made, in effect, only manually, so as to keep intact the landscape, while the vinification favors traditional methods and highlights the characteristics of the grapes produced. Walking next to the rows, anyone can notice the mowing of grass and the remains of pruning used as natural fertilizers that help prevent soil erosion and prove the exclusion of herbicides.
The Company is located in the central part of the Marche region, in the province of Macerata, in the hilly foothills area. Our production is focused on the Vernaccia Nera local variety, in effect, Azienda Vitivinicola Rocchi Paris & C. is the only one that can boast the production of the Vernaccia di Serrapetrona DOCG as well as the DOC – San Ginesio Spumante from Vernaccia grapes.
The estate vineyards extend over an area of 15 hectares in the municipalities of Caldarola and Belforte del Chienti.
The business philosophy, over the years, has never changed: constant search for quality excellence and the direct relation with the customer–end consumer: the only critic that counts to us.
Nine hectares of surface are grown with newly planted vineyards of grapes from vines of: Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Lacrima, Merlot, Maceratino (Greco Maceratese), Pecorino, Incrocio Bruni ’54 (Verdicchio–Sauvignon).
WINERY AND VINEYARDS
In the cellar, located right in the middle of the vineyards, the company produces and bottles DOC wines directly: Colli Maceratesi Bianco and Ribona, Rosso Piceno; IGT Marche Rosato, Bianco, Rosso.
The harvest is done by hand, in perforated boxes, with selection in the field and on the table in the wine cellar. The short path from the vineyard to the winery gives the opportunity to get high quality musts obtained, with regard to white wines and rosé, from the "soft" pressing of grapes with a pneumatic press.
The vinification of "red" wines occurs with whole grapes, de–stemmed. The winery is equipped with automated system for the temperature of the bottles. This allows, especially during fermentation, to preserve the typical aromas of the grapes, with gradually increasing temperatures.
Clarification is made with decanting. All with the wise guidance of an experienced oenologist.
Conti degli Azzoni is a wine company that has been producing wine for many generations. It is spread over 850 hectares, of which 130 are vineyard. The wine is made in the own cellar of Montefano.
It is one of the few companies, perhaps the only one, which cultivates Grechetto in the Marche region, a typical variety of Umbria, which here finds a new strength and uniqueness.
The Accattoli company was founded in 1958, when my father and his three brothers started building a small cellar at Montefiore, a charming villa near Recanati dominated by an imposing tower, which is still the distinguishing feature of our logo today.
In 1983 my father bought out the company, since he was the only one who had always dedicated himself passionately to the product.
Azienda Saputi is located in the heart of the Marche, on the rolling hills of Macerata. Its vineyards are located about 400 meters above sea level, caressed by the Adriatic sea breezes and by the winds of the Sibillini mountains. This context strongly characterizes the territoriality of the products by Saputi.
The intent of Tenuta Colli di Serrapetrona is to protect and preserve in time its own vines, to publicize their history and traditions. With the will to enclose in each bottle the fair and fascinating hardness of landscapes smoothed by millions of windy, rainy, hot and frozen days which have broken the rocks to form the steep slopes on which we planted our vineyards, that are fighting every day against gravity sinking roots in soils of cream color. We help them to resist, while maintaining natural grass to prevent the erosion of that old, valuable and alive good that is the soil of our vineyards.
Montecoriolano company, for a long time owned by the Casalis Douhet family, pioneers of the Marche winemaking, who in the 20s introduced international varieties like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon at that time almost unknown in the Marche region.
The wines were sold almost all over the world and among the most prestigious clients there were the Vatican and the White House in Washington.
In the 70s the estate, not having heirs, donated in heritage its wealth (including the winery) to the Institute for the Blind Paolo Colosimo of Naples, managed by the Campania Region. Since then, the region runs the property; for some years it was decided to re–consolidate and invest in the business potential planting new vines of local and international varieties, up to the current 40 hectares, the production of bottled wines of high quality and, last but not least, the modernization of the wine machinery, and the complete renovation of the winery, a historical and wonderful farmhouse of the 19th century.
The company is also active in the field of olive growing, with the planting of thirty hectares of native mono–variety olive trees, and the construction of a modern mill for the production of DOP oils of quality.
Eased down on the gentle hills of San Ginesio, an ancient village of the Piceno area, the company covers a land particularly suited for the ripening of grapes. The soil is of average mixture, and gives to wine great structure and full color. The climate is typical of high hill, but sunny, and substantial temperature ranges between night and day define aromas, making wine unique for the maturation of grapes in excellent conditions.
The owner Valerio Lucarelli, convinced of the importance of a patient research on quality and supported by the passion for the production of wine, has continued to run the traditional and family winehouse combining wisely the ancient wine science with modern technologies, tradition with evolution. From cultivation of grapes in the vine to bottling, each step is made with special care and constant attention, to obtain wines of unique aromas and scents.
Aware of the strict bond between culture and development, for Valerio another goal is to present, together with the product, also tradition and the history of the territory with its architectural and artistic beauties.
Regarding tradition, in the old wine cellar an ancient beverage, typical of the Marche region, was produced: cooked wine. The must of local grapes was boiled on direct fire on copper boilers, until one third of it evaporated.
