The Estate
Discover the place and the history of Tenuta Colpaola
Passion for Verdicchio and for the territory which makes it unique: Matelica and Marche region. The estate is perched on the hills below San Vicino Mountain, at 650 meters above s.l., in the village of Braccano.
This special location allows to produce one of the finest types of Verdicchio di Matelica.
The villa standing in the middle of Tenuta Colpaola encompasses half a century of history and local pride.
Until 2003 it was owned by Marcello Boldrini. He was Enrico Mattei's successor to the presidency of ENI until 1967.
Nowadays the property belongs to Porcarelli family.
In 2007 Stefania and Francesco planted the first vines and fullfilled their dream of living in a vineyard.
In the second half of the past century the Estate was purchased by a famous character, Professor Marcello Boldrini, born in Matelica and later living in Milan. He was Professor of prime statistics and president of Bocconi university.
Little known to the general public, but big protagonist of the great economic-industrial epic of the Italian postwar period by the state-owned companies that were headed by Eni. The latter was led by the great Enrico Mattei of whom Boldrini was a very close collaborator and inspiration as well as his successor to the presidency.
The engraving, belonging to a paleochristian gravestone in Palazzo Piersanti in Matelica, is one of the most popular symbols of Christianity.Originally used in funerals and later widespread among ancient Mediterranean peoples over the time, its function has maintained the propitiatory and benevolent sense of good hospitality.
The Property
The relationship between Tenuta Colpaola and Porcarelli family is a story involving three entire generations.
The Origin
Francesco tells that everything started in the late '60s, when his grandfather firstly started managing rental property of Tenuta Colpaola and he was captured by the charm of the place perched below San Vicino Mountain.
In the late 70s it was the turn of Piero's father who managed the property. In such rich and genuine environment Francesco lived the best moments of his childhood.
When Boldrini family eventually decided to sell the property, Francesco and his wife Stefania decided to buy it and, since that moment, the present story began and it has as main character Verdicchio.
Our Team
Stefania
After a lifetime of accounting (she was a banker), she decides to turn her passion into her job.
So here is the change of life putting her in charge of the company.
Today she runs the business with innovation, iniciative and elegance.
A strong woman, always ready to take up new projects.
Weakness: She often thinks to be a party planner, until Francesco steps in...
Weakness: None (we are flatterers, aren't we?!)
Francesco
The boss par excellence.
He watches us from afar.
He is often out of the company since in his daily life he does a different job. However, if needed he's always around.
The greatest truth he's always preaching is that everyone is the architect of his own fate.
Laura
In youth she was often spaced out, but she later decided to become a pragmatic one by day and an eclectic one in her free time.
She's definitely not shy, she's actually a smooth talker who is able to get you to confess what she wants to know in the blink of an eye.
MigliorelliExport Manager
Weakness: Imperfect perfectionist
Weakness: He always says what he thinks
Aroldo
Our technical-enologist.
As he's always preaching: wine is made in the vineyard...and it has to be the expression of the territory in which grape has been cultivated.
A man of honor, very stuck to his principles.
An excellent collaborator and a great friend.
Jarek
The jolly of the company. He can switch from storekeeper to grape picker in no time.
If you are looking for him, you will find him behind some bottles of wine or pruning vines.
If necessary, he can also turn into a bodyguard during our events!

Weakness: Picturesque Italian accent
