Tenuta San Marcello, Marche, Italy
Grapes: Verdicchio
Vintage: 2023
 
Massimo and Pascal chased a dream and brought it to life as Tenuta San Marcello. Inspired by the passion for wine passed down from his grandfather, Massimo set out to find the perfect land to create natural wines with authentic, traditional flavors. This journey led him and his family to settle in the picturesque Marche region.
The vineyard, adjacent to the winery, covers 2.2 hectares of Lacrima di Morro d’Alba and 1.5 hectares of Verdicchio (owned) plus 2 hectares of rented Verdicchio on a hillside slope (290–250 m above sea level) with clay-limestone soil and west-northwest orientation. 
Biodynamic practices are employed, including worm humus, green manure, and natural preparations (propolis, herbal teas, etc.), to enrich the soil and protect the vines.  
 
Cipriani showcases a delicate floral bouquet with mineral nuances, enriched by hints of peach, almond, and linden blossom.
On the palate, Cipriani reveals flavors of candied mandarin and chestnut honey. Its solid structure ensures excellent aging potential, evolving into complex mineral notes of hydrocarbons and flint. 
Perfectly suited to Mediterranean cuisine, Cipriani pairs well with appetizers, white meats, vegetable fritters, and fish.
