Region: Marche, Italy
Grapes: 100% Verdicchio
Body: Light- to medium-bodied
Notes: Green apple, lemon/tangerine zest, citrus, saline minerality.
Pairing: Seafood (oysters, shellfish, grilled fish), fresh salads, light pasta, soft cheeses.
Additional Info:
Le Salse is a vibrant expression of Verdicchio di Matelica made by Cantine Belisario, a long-established cooperative in the Alta Valle Esina that focuses on high-altitude vineyards and organic farming practices. Matelica is a distinct sub-region of the Marche known for structured, high-acidity Verdicchio wines with brisk citrus energy and pronounced mineral tension, influenced in part by ancient salt springs (“le salse”) found in the valley — hence the wine’s name. Fermented on native yeasts and aged in stainless steel, this bottling showcases the variety’s classic bright fruit and saline drive in a fresh, food-friendly style.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
