Garofoli Verdicchio dei Castello di Jesi Macrina 2020

The origins of the Garofoli winery date from the end of the 19th century, when in 1871 Antonio Garofoli began the production and sale of local wines. His son Gioacchino continued to expand the business and in 1901 he founded the Gioacchino Garofoli winery. Five generations later, the Garofoli winery is still in tact and the wines are as good as ever.

Today, the children Gianluca, Catarina and Beatrice have joined their parents in both the vineyard management and winemaking tasks. They’ve helped add innovation to the classic techniques, becoming the first winery to put their Verdicchio in Bordeaux bottles as well as the first to make a sparkling Champagne style wine from their Verdicchio grapes. All of their wines are pretty tasty, but the ‘Macrina’ just offers sensational value relative to the quality in the bottle. It’s the perfect treat partner for seafood.
