Lucio Canestrari of Fattoria Coroncino, A Winemaking Pioneer in Castelli di Jesi, Italy

Grape Collective talks with Rocco Vallorani, one of southern Marche’s star winemakers, about the evolution of his region.

"In this area, in the Castelli di Jesi, that is very different from Matelica, we face the seaside. We have the hills that go straight to the seaside. In Matelica, it is different because it's almost in the mountains, we are in the hills close to the seaside." Claudio Caldaroni

"So, if you want to make it very simple you have: Matelica with higher acidity, higher minerality compared to the Jesi area and from the area of Castelli di Jesi, a much easier drinking wine." Aroldo Bellelli, Winemaker Bisci
