Verdicchio
Its features
Verdicchio di Matelica has certain peculiarities due to the pedoclimatic conditions, indeed the valley of Matelica, named Sinclinale Camerte, is the only one in the whole region running parallel to the sea.
This geographical feature determines a continental microclimate, not affected by the air streams coming from the Adriatic sea.
