Stefano Zoli - Verdicchio
Stefano Zoli
Stefano Zoli is een bekende Italiaanse oenoloog die al jaren voornamelijk werkt met de sangiovese-druif.Zijn grote droom was echter om eens een witte wijn te gaan maken en dan van de verdicchio-druif. Na jaren zoeken vond hij een kleine wijngaard in de Matelica-vallei in de Marken. Deze meer dan 50 jaar oude wijngaard is iets kleiner dan een hectare en heeft een zuidoostelijke expositie. De wijngaard ligt dus in de Apennijnen en wordt volledig manueel bewerkt, enkel kopersulfaat wordt gebruikt in de wijngaard, geen herbiciden of pesticiden. De eerste oogst was in 2020 en betrof slechts 6000 flessen. Vanaf 2022 heeft Stefano de beschikking over een tweede wijngaard van een iets grote formaat. Website: www.stefanozoli.com

Italian Wines
Many serious and extremely special wines are made in Italy. It is perhaps the wine country with the greatest diversity of wines and grapes. From the far north to the heel, wines are made from many diverse, often autochthonous, grape varieties. Wine is part of the country's culture and a meal without wine is unthinkable here. Italian wine regions such as Piemonte, Tuscany, Friuli and Abruzzo are just a few of the unique wine regions that can be found in the country.
Italian red wine
The main grapes for red wine in Italy are Nebbiolo and Sangiovese without wanting to discredit another grape variety. Nebbiolo is the grape variety of Piemonte and great Italian wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco are made from this grape variety. Sangiovese is mainly planted in Tuscany, the Chianti region and Brunello di Montalcino. But not only these two wines, in recent years there has been a lot of attention for the Super-Tuscans. Wines from often international grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
Italian White Wine
White wines are of course made throughout the country, but the most important areas for white wine are Friuli and Alto Adige. Two wine regions in northwestern Italy. Here, Italian wine is made from well-known grape varieties such as Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay, but also from lesser-known varieties such as Ribolla Giala, Friulano and Riesling. Vermentino is often the basis for white wines from Tuscany, and in Piedmont there are also fine examples of the Chardonnay grape.
Italian sparkling wines
In addition to the still wines, Italy is of course known for the sparkling wines that are made in Lombardia, of course, but also in the region of Friuli Venetia. In Franciacorta, chardonnay, pinot nero and pinot biancio form the basis of sparkling wines made with the classic second fermentation in the bottle. We offer you several sparkling wines from Italy, most of which are certified organic and are perfect as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to various dishes.
