Specificity and historical notes

Already at the time of the Piceni the vine was widespread in the production area of Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva. It was in the Roman period, however, that the wines of this area were refined and became known, so as to end up in the writings of the great classical authors. The end of the Roman Empire, the domination of the barbarians and the centuries that followed marked a strong phase of decline, which ended with the advent of the Church State, which began an agricultural revival.
