Descrizione

The Verdicchio di Matelica DOC Terra di Mezzo from Monacesca offers a measured, recognisable profile for those seeking a fresh white. In the glass it shows a clear straw colour; the nose reveals impressions of white-fleshed fruit, white flowers and light herbal notes, with a discreet mineral thread that supports the bouquet without overwhelming it. On the palate it balances lively acidity and medium body, with fruity returns and a pleasant, never intrusive, persistence.

It is a versatile wine, suitable with light dishes such as seafood starters, fish soups, grilled vegetables and fresh cheeses; it also works well as an aperitif glass. Recommended serving temperature around 10–12 °C. Store in a cool, sheltered place; to best enjoy its freshness, consume within a few years of purchase. More detailed technical information is provided by the producer Monacesca. Its understated elegance also makes it appropriate for informal occasions in both summer and winter.
