Aged in steel, it offers a fragrant bouquet with notes of acacia, white-fleshed peach and a characteristic almond aroma. On the palate, it delivers a complex and enveloping sip, supported by pronounced savouriness that finishes with a fresh, citrusy note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Serra de’ Conti, in the heart of the historic Castelli di Jesi area. The grapes ripen in the \u003cstrong\u003eLa Spina vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, located at around three hundred and fifty metres above sea level with optimal south and south-east exposure. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured sandy soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, surrounded by an oak forest: a natural setting that imparts a marked mineral vein to the wine. The name Ylice pays homage to the ancient medieval villa “castellare de Ylice”, a toponym derived from the Latin term for the \u003cstrong\u003eholm oak tree\u003c\/strong\u003e, a historic symbol of the local landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e involves selecting the bunches in two stages, combining early-ripening grapes with fully ripe ones to achieve perfect balance. Part of the harvest undergoes \u003cstrong\u003ecold skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by gentle pressing to extract only the free-run must. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, avoiding malolactic conversion to preserve the wine’s original freshness and vigour. Maturation in \u003cstrong\u003esteel with frequent bâtonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e continues for several months, ensuring the wine gains structure and complexity before the final ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Ylice is inspired by the “castellare de Ylice”, a historic 12th-century villa that once stood near the Poderi Mattioli winery. Derived from the Latin term \u003cem\u003eilex\u003c\/em\u003e (holm oak), this place name preserves the ancient memory of the Marche region. This heritage lives on today in the grapes of the \u003cstrong\u003eLa Spina vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e in Serra de’ Conti: a precious sandy cru, bordered by an oak forest, which gives the \u003cstrong\u003eorganic Verdicchio\u003c\/strong\u003e a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e and an innate elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Poderi Mattioli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46431320801451,"sku":"61122","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/poderi-mattioli-verdicchio-castelli-di-jesi-classico-superiore-ylice-2024_61122_1_043cbcbe-15fd-4af8-974e-03b57f6b151c.webp?v=1777047690","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-be\/products\/poderi-mattioli-verdicchio-castelli-di-jesi-classico-superiore-ylice-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
