Fattoria Coroncino was founded by Lucio Canestrari & his wife Fiorella in 1981 and have been pioneering quality Verdicchio ever since. The estate is now run by their son Valerio, who has grown with the vines and was a constant presence alongside Lucio's up until he suddenly and sadly passed away at the end of 2021. He will be missed by all but through Valerio the strides he made, his teachings and opinions will persist. 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.In Lucio's words - “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.

15% abv
A dense and complex nose with butter scotch and marzipan entices into a fat palate. At once it drenches you with weighty and broad tarte tatin and fleshy pears whilst llift you on high tension wires of Veridcchio crackle. The berries here are small and ripen unevenly dosing the finished wine with layers of back and forth tension from the get go. 5 days on the skins and a portion of barrel ferment. This wines starts all the ferments each vintage – one wine to rule them all!
Stracacio is made from the vineyard of the same name. Vines here are believed to be a possible Verdicchio x Riesling cross… The vineyard was once owned by renowned viticulturalist Prof Bruno Bruno Bruni. Lucio took cuttings from a 1930s vineyard planted by Bruni himself and planted alongsided massal selection from the vineyard itsellf. This was the estate’s first wine to undergo barrel fermentation and is labelled as Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva.
