Le Marche companies are the only and oldest DOC wineries in
Italy.
One of the oldest wineries, the Gagliardi winery began in
the Forties and was one of the first companies devoted to
the production and commercialisation of Verdicchio di
Matelica, and the first to sell it in bottles. The
geographical situation of the cellars is one of the best
suited to vine cultivation. Its particular microclimate and
altitude ( from 300 to 600 metres ) mean that each grape
variety can express its own special characteristics.
The Vini Gagliardi winery cultivates 15 hectares 12 of
which are devoted to Verdicchio grapes and 3 to red grape
varieties (Sangiovese, Merlot, Ciliegiolo ). The cellars
today continue to be a family-run enterprise, involving
Gino Gagliardi and his children. His son, Umberto, who
graduated in wine production at the Ascoli Piceno School of
Wines and is responsible for production and
commercialisation: and daughter Lara, who is in charge of
administration. The annual production of the cellars is
about 2.500 hl of wine. The area where the wine-making,
stocking, and bottling operations take place covers 1.350
square metres and can be found in via Merloni Matelica.
