DESCRIPTION OF THE GROTTESCO DI GIULIA
"Il Grottesco" Di Giulia is a wine produced with 100% Verdicchio, the white grape variety historically present for centuries in the lands of the Marche. It is a white made with a short maceration process on the skins, carried out to enrich the aromatic profile and structure of the wine. It expresses the more mature and rich face of Verdicchio, with intense, deep and complex aromas. It is a multifaceted and iridescent white, which, thanks to the vinification only in steel, preserves the freshness and expressive tension typical of grapes, without losing the typical varietal characteristics.

The wine "Il Grottesco" was born from a dream of Giulia Fiorentini, who after some experience in Tuscany and Campania, decides to buy a small estate in Cupramontana, in the heart of the Verdicchio land to produce wine. The farm of about 3 hectares is located in Contrada Manciano in the wonderful hilly area of ​​the Marche region, at an altitude of almost 500 meters above sea level. The area is historically suited for the cultivation of grapes. The predominantly clayey soils and the Mediterranean climate, sunny and always breezy, constitute an ideal habitat for Verdicchio, which offers intense wines, of great freshness and longevity. The labels produced by the Di Giulia winery have a straightforward and direct face, a faithful expression of the best characteristics of the territory. Grottesco is an artisanal wine, born from the desire to give value to rich and perfectly ripe grapes, to make known the more mature and complex personality of Verdicchio.

The white "Il Grottesco" Di Giulia is a deep and elegant Verdicchio. The grapes are harvested in the second half of September, at the moment of maximum maturity. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, with a 4-day maceration on the skins. The wine ages on the lees in steel tanks for about ten months, with repeated batonnage. In the glass it has a straw yellow color with golden reflections. The nose is intense and complex, with citrus aromas, ripe yellow fruit, tropical hints, aromatic herbs and iodized hints. On the palate it has a good structure, with a rich, long and deep sip, which extends harmoniously towards a fresh and savory finish.
