What kind of wine is Marche Bianco IGT 'Il San Lorenzo' 2013 - Fattoria San Lorenzo?
The Marche Bianco IGT 'Il San Lorenzo' 2013 - Fattoria San Lorenzo is an extraordinary white wine, produced in the heart of the Marche hills, in an area with a strong viticultural vocation. It is predominantly made from Verdicchio grapes, the region's symbolic varietal, known for its ability to combine freshness, structure, and typical marine salinity. This white wine stands out for its mineral, fresh, and complex profile, the result of a long aging process that enhances its aromatic nuances and depth. It is a wine that captivates with its balance of vibrancy and elegance, ideal for those who wish to discover a mature yet still vibrant white wine.Vintage Details
The 2013 vintage in Marche was characterized by a cool spring with some rain and a summer of moderate temperatures, without extremes. These climatic conditions allowed for a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, favoring excellent aromatic concentration and splendid natural acidity. The result is a fine and balanced wine, where freshness and complexity go hand in hand.Winemaking and Aging
The vinification of the Marche Bianco IGT 'Il San Lorenzo' 2013 takes place in steel and concrete tanks, where the wine remains on its lees for about 110 months—almost nine and a half years. This prolonged contact with the lees, technically called sur lie, gives the wine body, creaminess, and a rare aromatic complexity. After aging, the wine rests for an additional ten months in the bottle before being released, thus achieving a stability and harmony that are hard to match.Tasting Notes

How to best open and serve Marche Bianco IGT 'Il San Lorenzo' 2013 - Fattoria San Lorenzo
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening Marche Bianco IGT 'Il San Lorenzo' 2013 - Fattoria San Lorenzo, position the bottle vertically for at least 24 hours. This allows natural sediments, typical of aged wines, to settle at the bottom, preventing them from mixing with the wine during serving.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The ideal tasting temperature for this Marche Bianco IGT is around 12-14°C. If the bottle is stored in a cellar, remove it about 30 minutes before opening to reach the right temperature that enhances the wine's aromas and aromatic complexity.
3. Opening the bottle
Open the bottle calmly, using a lever corkscrew to avoid crumbling the cork, which is often more fragile in wines that have evolved for a long time.
- Cut the capsule below the ring.
- Clean the neck of the bottle with a clean cloth.
- Slowly extract the cork, keeping the bottle still.
Gentle opening preserves the bouquet and prevents unwanted shocks to the wine.

After opening, smell the cork to check for any abnormal odors. Pour a small amount into the glass and observe the color. The Marche Bianco IGT 'Il San Lorenzo' 2013 - Fattoria San Lorenzo should show intense golden reflections and complex olfactory notes of ripe fruit and honey.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Being a structured and aged white wine, it benefits from light decanting. Slowly pour the contents into a carafe, avoiding disturbing the sediments. Let it rest for about 20-30 minutes to allow proper oxygenation, which will amplify its aromas and softness on the palate.
This step is especially recommended when the wine initially appears closed or not very expressive on the nose.
6. Serving
Serve the Marche Bianco IGT 'Il San Lorenzo' 2013 - Fattoria San Lorenzo in large, structured white wine glasses, which encourage oxygenation and aromatic perception.
- Pour small quantities to maintain a constant temperature.
