San Leopardo, Rosso dei Colli Maceratesi DOC, represents the oenological memory of the "Rosso Matelica" of 1800. A powerful and intense red, it is made mainly from Sangiovese grapes, with Merlot, Cabernet and Ciliegiolo. Vines carefully selected in the company vineyards in the Upper Esina Valley. After harvesting, the grapes are soon brought to the winery to begin the long process of transformation that begins with a prolonged phase of maceration of the skins, to extract all the colour, aromas and tannins. Then, after racking, this red wine is matured in 50-hectolitre oak casks for a period of no less than one year. This long period of elevation gives the wine a very special character and personality. It is easy, in fact, to perceive from the first taste the pleasant sensations of seasoned wood. A wine capable of ageing in style, it is already good today but, if stored correctly, it has the capacity to evolve over a long period, acquiring ever greater complexity and pleasantness. Intense purple red with amber tones, it is a smooth and structured wine. An ideal companion for a barbecue with friends, it also goes well with elaborate first courses, such as stuffed pasta or pasta with tasty sauces.
Making wines that are both good and recognisable at the same time'. This is the objective of Roberto Potentini, oenologist and General Manager of Cantina Belisario di Matelica. This fine winery in the Marche region, founded in 1971, is one of the most solid and interesting in the region, capable of winning prizes and awards thanks to the quality of its strictly regional wines. Today the company can count on around 300 hectares of vineyards in the Upper Esina Valley and a winery that can handle around 30,000 hectolitres of wine each year. All the vineyards are located at a short distance from the company and this allows the cellar technicians to carefully plan the harvest, limiting the time the grapes have to spend between harvesting and the start of processing. Cantina Belisario's true pride and joy is the world's most popular white wine from the Marche region, the elegant Verdicchio di Matelica DOC.
