Tenuta Mattei
(Winery in Verdicchio)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €20.00
Tenuta Mattei is a historic winery nestled in the scenic hills of the Marche region, near Ancona. This family-run estate has deep roots in the area, with a winemaking tradition that dates back to the early 20th century. The story of Tenuta Mattei began when Danilo's grandfather started cultivating vineyards and fields on his property, initially selling the grape harvest to local wineries. In the late 1950s, Danilo's father, Mario, alongside his wife Maria, expanded the vineyard area and began producing and selling wine directly, first in the local market and then throughout Italy.
Today, Tenuta Mattei spans 100 hectares of vineyards, including prestigious grape varieties such as Verdicchio, Lacrima, Montepulciano, Sangiovese, and Merlot. The winery produces approximately 1,150,000 bottles of wine each year, a testament to its significant presence in the Italian wine industry. The estate's location, between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine mountains, offers a unique terroir that greatly influences the quality and character of its wines. Visitors to Tenuta Mattei can immerse themselves in the rich history and tradition of Marches winemaking, experiencing firsthand the passion and dedication that have defined this family estate for generations.
Tenuta di Tavignano
(Winery in Verdicchio)
Provides 4 wine tastings and winery visit from €33.00
Tenuta di Tavignano is in the area of Cingoli (province of Macerata). The property is on hills that dominate the valleys of the Esino and Musone rivers, on one side one can see the San Vicino mountain and on the other side the Adriatic sea and the Conero Riviera. Our estate has 230 hectares of land, 30 of which are dedicated to vineyards that are divided into two: white grapes on the estate side and red grapes closer to the sea. We cultivate our vineyards respecting the plant’s life cycle, creating biodiversity by making the soil healthy and nutrient rich, pushing the plants towards total self-sufficiency and thus natural behaviours. The vineyards stand in the heart of the “Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico” and of the "Rosso Piceno DOC ”appellations.
The climatic and soil conditions - such as ideal altitude, exposure, day/night temperature range, soft slopes, absence of fog and optimal northern ventilation - create a perfect microclimate for a low environmental impact viticulture. The estate is now certified organic. The soils composition - medium texture characterized by marly-calcareous rocks — gives a characteristic mineral and sapid flavour to the wines. We fully realise that nature is a perfect, self-sufficient ecosystem capable of growing and thriving without any human intervention at all. At Tavignano Estate we toil the land to restore and maintain as much as possible that natural state of things and that bond with the land that has always distinguished our ancestors. Thanks to this management, in 2018 we received organic certification.
Tenuta Grimaldi
(Winery in Verdicchio)
Provides 3 wine tastings and winery visit from €25.00
Nestled in the heart of Italy, Tenuta Grimaldi spans 32 hectares (79 acres) of rolling countryside in Matelica, surrounded by vineyards, oak forests, and cultivated fields. Located along the Esino River, the estate is shielded by the Apennine Mountains, overlooking the valley where the renowned Verdicchio di Matelica DOC is produced.
The estate is deeply connected to history, standing on a hill once known as Torramuni, now called Terra di Mondo. At 570 meters (1,870 feet) above sea level, the site once hosted a medieval watchtower, built to defend the strategic Flaminia Road, the main route to Rome. In 1277, a long conflict between Matelica and Camerino led to the destruction of the tower, yet its ancient stone foundations still remain near Tenuta Grimaldi today.
Founded in 2015, Tenuta Grimaldi was established by the Grimaldi family, who transitioned from the construction industry to agriculture, bringing their vision to life. The project transformed an abandoned rural complex into a thriving winery and hospitality estate. The first vineyards were planted with meticulous soil analysis and geological studies, ensuring that each parcel was perfectly suited for viticulture. Today, the estate balances local economic sustainability with international expansion, producing high-quality wines that express the land's unique identity.

COLLEONORATO
(Winery in Verdicchio)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €35.00
Azienda Agricola Colleonorato's origins are deeply rooted in a century-long family history of working the land. The founder, born above a winery established in 1900, pursued a degree in Economics and Marketing in agro-industries without initially intending to make wine. Yet, her family's long-standing connection to agriculture, passed down through generations, ultimately led her to cultivate her passion for winemaking. Colleonorato was born from the need to honor her family’s past and embrace her love for nature.
The winery is situated along Via Colleonorato, the very place of the founder's birth and the site of the new state-of-the-art winery dedicated to producing their flagship Verdicchio wines: Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore in two labels, “Prologo” and “La Giostra,” as well as the Rosso Piceno labeled “Il Cortese.”
A deep partnership with Luca, who shares in the management of the vineyard, helps to fuel the winery’s innovative approach. Together, they push boundaries to create a Verdicchio that balances tradition and unconventional choices, producing wines that reflect both the region's rich legacy and modern techniques.
At Colleonorato, winemaking is seen as an art form, designed to create sensory orchestrations that blend tradition with contemporary craftsmanship. The winery prides itself on continuous innovation, transforming Verdicchio into a showcase for creativity while preserving the fundamental roots of traditional, artisanal production. This philosophy of constantly striving for the highest quality fuels their journey to produce wines that harmoniously combine balance, intensity, and aroma, evoking the essence of their land.

Located in the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi zone, a prime region for grape cultivation, our position offers optimal conditions for growing high-quality grapes.
Founded by Mario Brunori in 1956, our family-owned business has flourished over the years. Mario's son, Giorgio, later joined him, and today the winery is run by Mario's grandchildren, Carlo and Cristina. Carlo and Cristina, both accomplished sommeliers, have inherited not only extensive expertise in vineyard management but also a deep appreciation for cutting-edge technology. They blend tradition with experimentation and modern winemaking equipment to achieve outstanding results.
Although our estate has expanded and modernized, we remain deeply committed to upholding our family's values. Every step of the production cycle is overseen with personal care, from meticulous vineyard management and vinification to cellar work and bottling, ensuring the highest quality before commercialization.

VIGNA DEGLI ESTENSI
(Winery in Verdicchio)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €28.00

The winery was born from the passion of Stefano, a geologist turned sommelier and oenologist, who pursued his dream of winemaking. Together with his wife and sister-in-law, he founded Vigna degli Estensi, a name inspired by Ferrara, the former capital of the Este dynasty and the birthplace of the founders.
The winery’s mission is twofold: to craft high-quality wines while promoting sustainability and environmental respect. Eco-friendly technologies are used throughout production, and the estate is currently undergoing organic certification, reinforcing its commitment to responsible winemaking.
