Verdicchio styles from Fazi Battaglia

-

Titulus: the original, everyday classic.

The historic amphora bottle is used for Fazi Battaglia’s instantly recognisab­le classic Verdicchio. Hand selected grapes from 7 vineyards sites over 130 hectares vinified in temperatur­e controlled stainless steel vats to make a refreshing wine with an intense bouquet of peaches, apples and roses and an attractive bitter almond finish.

Le Moie: the fresh, marine style of Verdicchio.

From vineyards at the heart of the Castelli di Jesi Classico area, at altitudes near to sea level, with a southern exposure and on typically sandy soils rich in silt. In these warmer, typically Mediterran­ean conditions, Verdicchio ripens early to give a fresh, full-flavoured wine with good minerality.

Massaccio: the mature, soft style of Verdicchio.

From vineyards in the highest areas, facing south. Thanks to these unique topographi­cal and environmen­tal conditions, with cool nights and dry, sunny days, the grapes can stay on the vine beyond the normal harvest date. This allows a slight process of overripeni­ng with the noble interventi­on of botrytis. Verdicchio thus reaches a higher concentrat­ion and unique aromatic ripening.

San Sisto: the elegant, longlived style of Verdicchio.

The San Sisto vineyard at an altitude of 350m above sea level, consists of 30 hectares of vineyards with a northeaste­rn exposure, on clay-loam soils. Each year, only the best grapes are chosen for the production of this cru wine. Cooler temperatur­es means the wine is firmlystru­ctured, with good minerality, enhanced by long barrel and bottle ageing.
