2024 Tenuta San Marcello 'Petricore'

Place: Marche, Italy

Variety: Verdicchio

Farming: Biodynamic

Tenuta San Marcello is a small estate in Italy's Marche region, near the Adriatic coast. Working with organically farmed vineyards on clay-limestone soils, the estate combines traditional varieties with a thoughtful, progressive approach to winemaking. Its wines emphasise texture, precision and the distinctive mineral character of the region.

Petricore is 100% Verdicchio, fermented in French oak tonneaux to develop depth and complexity. Mandarin and ripe pear are layered with white flowers, green tea, toasted almond and delicate pastry notes. The palate is generous and finely textured, with vibrant acidity and pronounced saline minerality providing balance and definition. Structured and persistent, the wine finishes long, savoury and elegantly composed.
