The Marotti Campi winery is a leading name in the world of wine in the Marche region, and is synonymous with the excellence of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Lacrima di Morro d'Alba. We are talking about the oldest farming estate in the Morro d'Alba area, whose history dates back to the mid-19th century, when the Marotti family bought the vast property, planted the first vines and built the large patronal villa, now surrounded by vineyards. In 1991 Giovanni Marotti Campi launched an ambitious renovation and modernisation project that culminated, under the guidance of his son Lorenzo, in the foundation of the modern winery.
The vast estate of the Mariotti Campi family extends for over 120 hectares, 53 of which are planted with vines. The vineyards are spread over several plots of land, grouped into three main bodies, each of which is different in terms of exposure, planting density and age of the vines, which varies from 10 to 35 years-old. In addition to Lacrima and Verdicchio, Montepulciano, Petiti Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties are also grown. Environmentally friendly methods of cultivation are used, with no irrigation and minimal chemical treatments. In the cellar, the grapes are pressed softly using modern pneumatic presses and the vinification is carried out in steel, with hyper-reduction procedures for white wines to avoid oxidation. Underneath the cellar, dug into the ground, is the barrique cellar, where a small part of the wines produced are aged.
Mariotti Campi's wines stand out for their precision, stylistic clarity and excellent value for money. Harvest after harvest, the Mariotti Campi family has managed to reach and maintain a high level of quality, capable of combining the peculiarities of the territory with an elegant and impeccable style. A guaranteed wine of the Marche region!
