Borgo Paglianetto is a relatively new winery born in 2008. In the central area of the Marche region are the vineyards that span the valley between Fabriano and Camerino. The wines come from the production area of Verdicchio di Matelica. This region is a short distance from the Adriatic Sea and dredged in the history of its vine growing. The closed-off Alta Valle dell ‘Esino within Matelica is unique in that it boasts north-south facing vineyards, in turn creating a unique microclimate for these vines. Borgo has a clear mantra of using the historic land to express terroir through quality and passion.
“Terravignata” is a local term referring to the olden times of wealthy Roman landowners who owned land exclusively for growing grape vines. It is a youthful, easy-drinking style. Aged just six months in tanks, and then another two months in bottle, this is a wine meant to consume asap!
This light bodied red is 50% Sangiovese, 35% Merlot, and 15% Lacrima. Tasting notes of dark fruit with floral aromas including violets. Pair with a pasta dish or a charcuterie board with mature cheeses.
