Sartarelli Soc. Agr

About Winery and Wines

Our activity as winemakers began in the mid-‘60s, when our harvest was still sold to other wineries. With the passing of time and the increasing passion and love for our marvellous area, in 1972, we decided to make use of our own grapes. The owners Donatella Sartarelli and her husband Patrizio Chiacchiarini manage the company themselves, along with the help of the oenologist Alberto Mazzoni, and of all the dedicated vineyard workers engaged in the various stages from pruning to harvest, and the winery workers involved in the several working phases. Donatella and Patrizio’s children, Caterina and Tommaso, have also joined this team. They are both guided by the same passion and motivation, but have separate skills and abilities. In this way with commitment and family devotion we form all together a close and distinctive team who take great pride in their daily work. The company is situated in Poggio San Marcello at 350 metres above sea level, comprising 55 hectares of vineyards and 6 hectares of olive groves with 2.300 plants. Geographically our company and our vineyards are located on the hills on the west side of the Esino river, which is the classic area where the wine DOC “Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi” is produced. Coste del Molino, Tralivio and Balciana are the names of the districts, where our vineyards are planted on steep sloping hill sides. This is our root, our culture and the land which has raised us and taught us those values according to which we still lead our lives and do every single thing. We are from here.
