Verdicchio di Matelica DOC is not as well known as the "sister wine" of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC, nevertheless, many have attributed a more erect and full-bodied structure to it, as well as a cleaner, deeper flavor.
The color is generally pale yellow, but the Riserva type the color is rather more greenish. The taste is dry, harmonious, slightly acidic, with a slightly bitter aftertaste, as well as a mineral, cool and fruity aroma. The wine is made from the Verdicchio grape (85-100%) and/or Trebbiano Toscana and/or Malvasia Toscana (0-15%).
An aged version on the same grape composition, Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva DOCG, is also availbale as well as the dessert wine Verdicchio di Matelica Passito DOC and the dry, sparkling Verdicchio di Matelica Spumante DOC.
