- Verdicchio di Matelica is produced in the inland area of the Marche region, specifically in the Matelica valley. This region is more continental compared to the coastal areas, with greater temperature variations between day and night.
- The unique terroir of the Matelica valley, with its clay and limestone soils and the influence of the nearby Apennine mountains, contributes to the distinctive character of Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva. The cooler climate and significant diurnal temperature variation help to preserve acidity and aromatic intensity in the grapes.
