Lucio Canestrari & his wife founded Fattoria Coroncino in 1981 and have been pioneering quality Verdicchio ever since. Their three vineyards comprising 9.5 ha of their total 17.5ha all lie within 3km of the winery, producing 50,000 bottles per year from their own grapes. All wines are Classico Superiore, from the heart of the traditional zone and the lowest yields. They farm organically, grassing the vineyards since 1983, integrating insects and vine health since 1992 and no fertilizers since 1995. “We are proud to say that we are not part of any winecentric association; we don’t believe in any dogmas and we pride ourselves in our use of common sense, in harmony with nature”. They are one of the saviours of Verdicchio, rescuing this region’s wines from a downward spiral of overproduction and a lack of attention that saw its qualities squandered. The Marche DOC of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is centred on the town of Jesi, Province of Ancona and takes its name from the ancient fortifications of medieval times. Brushed with cooling breezes up and down the river valleys, onshore to begin with and offshore later in the day, this is ideal white wine territory.
Fattoria Coroncino Il Bacco 2018
13.5% abv
This is the Lucio’s everyday Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore. It is a full-frame, full-body wine with an enormous capacity for adapting and matching with food. Il Bacco has very low sulphites level: indeed all their wines have about half of the sulphites limit suggested for biological wines (100 mg/l). This wine is ideal for high-level daily use and it doubles well as an impish party starter that won’t give you a hangover the next day! The Il Bacco is full of minerality and a broad tropical palate with the beguiling green tinges and upturn of almond on the finish that truly characterise great Verdicchio.
