Matelica & Camerino is a wine area within Marche. Its listed appellations include Verdicchio di Matelica, Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva, I Terreni di Sanseverino, Vernaccia di Serrapetrona and Serrapetrona. Matelica's north to south valley brings favourable microclimates and strong seasonal temperature variation. Those swings reduce vine production and contribute to fuller wines. Compared with Castelli di Jesi, Matelica wines are more concentrated, with vibrant acidity and a lightly grippy texture. They can be dry and fresh, with apple, hawthorn, broom and bitter almond.
