THE COMPANY

At the helm of the estate is Stefania Peppoloni who, after a life lived among numbers, decided to dedicate herself to her passion for viticulture. Colpaola is the ‘mountain’ winery of the Verdicchio di Matelica production area and in fact has a body of 10 hectares under vine on the slopes of Monte San Vicino with an average altitude of over 650 m above sea level. The line being pursued is young and innovative and certainly has a strong personality. The company is entirely certified organic, working in respect of natural balances, aware and willing to not contribute to environmental pollution. At Colpaola we produce much more than just wine: it is the story of a terroir, the expression of a way of being, a philosophy of good living with wines that are perfect icons of Matelica.

Matelica

The smaller Verdicchio di Matelica area tends to produce wines of greater character in its more markedly hilly and elevated terrain. Verdicchio di Matelica is therefore a ‘mountain’ variety because it is mainly cultivated in the Alta Vallesina, at the foot of the Apennine mountain chain. The terroir in this area has a clay, calcareous marl, sand and sandstone structure.
