Tenuta Grimaldi

About Winery and Wines

Grimaldi Estate is located in a 32ha (79 acres) farm, including fields, vineyards, oaks, woods and rural countryside, in our town Matelica, in the heart of Italy, by the river Esino, shielded by the Apennine mountains, and overlooking the valley where our wine Verdicchio di Matelica is produced. "Our wine is entirely produced by us, internally, in our farm. We named our farm after the area, now called TERRA DI MONDO, originally being TORRAMUNI, a 570mt (1870ft) high hill, where a medieval watching tower used to stand: It was meant to prevent enemies attacking, especially the near town Camerino, who wanted to have complete power over a main road (Flaminia) leading to Rome, hence strategically important. Camerino eventually won, and destroyed that tower too, whose foundations can still be seen close to our Estate."
