The Terre di Valbona is the beating heart of Belisario's production: a Verdicchio di Matelica that focuses entirely on fragrance, aromatic purity, and the typical verticality of the Matelica terroir. The 2025 vintage stands out as one of the most interesting for those seeking freshness and an immediate expression of the grape variety.
Belisario - "Terre di Valbona" Verdicchio di Matelica DOC 2025
The Terre di Valbona 2025 is the pure essence of "mountain" Verdicchio. Produced from vineyards located in the Upper Esino Valley basin, this wine benefits from the significant temperature swings characteristic of the Matelica area, yielding an intense olfactory profile and crisp freshness. While Cambrugiano represents power and evolution, Valbona is the manifesto of drinkability and youth: a lively, sincere white wine deeply connected to the Marche tradition, capable of captivating with its essential elegance.
Sensory Profile In the glass, it presents a pale straw yellow with brilliant greenish reflections. The nose releases fresh notes of white flowers, green apple, pear, and delicate citrus hints, with a finish reminiscent of fresh almond and wet stone. On the palate, it is taut, lean, and endowed with a mineral savoriness that immediately invites a second sip. The balance between the citric acidity and the lean body makes it an extremely dynamic and refreshing wine.
Winemaking and Aging The grapes are harvested at perfect phenolic ripeness and vinified exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This technical choice aims to preserve the primary aromas of Verdicchio and its natural acidity intact. After a short period on the lees in steel to gain stability and aromatic nuances, the wine is bottled young to maintain all its vivacity.
Food Pairings It is the ideal companion for aperitifs and all seafood cuisine. It pairs perfectly with raw fish appetizers, fried seafood mix (frittura di paranza), pasta dishes with seafood, and grilled fish. Thanks to its freshness, it is also excellent with summer salads, vegetable-based dishes, and fresh cheeses like Marche caciotta.
