The story
San Venanzo is an agricultural business that continues a family tradition in cultivating Verdicchio di Matelica.

Production philosophy
The estate favors organic cultivation methods and traditional, natural processing approaches: recovery of native wild visciola stock, respect for the territory and small-volume production to preserve the identity and quality of raw materials.
