Details
There is a subtle florality to this wine that we absolutely love, but that character definitely plays second fiddle to a much greener personality. This organic Verdicchio is brimming with notes of nettle, green apples and lime. Lean and fresh, this is a direct wine with tension.
The sublime wines of CasalFarneto have been on our radar for a number of years here at Good Pair Days and we are super excited to bring them exclusively into the UK. Based in the Marche region of eastern Italy, these guys are specialists largely in white wine, working principally with Verdicchio and a number of other grape varieties including Montepulciano and Sangiovese (both red). It is worth noting that Verdicchio is synonymous with some of the finest white wines in Italy, and nobody does it better than the talented crew and CasalFarneto. In the province of Ancona, CasalFarneto tends to around 35 hectares of prime vineyard estate. Throughout, you will find the indigenous Farnetto oak trees from which the company takes its name. The team have a particular focus on organic viticulture as well as sustainable practice from grape to glass, employing the use of modern technology and combining that with a very traditional, rustic style of winemaking. These guys are at the top of the game.

Pairing guide
This beautiful organic Verdicchio wine is a real joy to encounter. Expressive, refreshing and fantastic on sunny days for al fresco lunches (and also on rainy British summer days, too!), it’s going to be delicious served alongside delicate fish like bass, sole and plaice, as well as with pretty much any seafood dish you can imagine. It’s also delicious with classic Italian lemon, chicken or vegetable pasta dishes and risottos, pesto classics, Japanese rice bowls and sushi dishes, and green salads with grilled chicken or vegetarian alternatives.

Wine region
Marche, Italy
You’ll find the Marche wine region in central Italy, stretching along the eastern coast - bordering to popular Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria and Abruzzo - Got your bearings? Marche is known for producing indigenous varieties like Trebbiano, Verdicchio, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese. The region is cradled by the Apennine Mountains, enjoys a consistent Mediterranean climate, and its proximity to the Adriatic Sea provides ideal conditions for sustainable viticulture! Some of the most famous wines from this region include Oasi degli Angeli Kurni and Villa Bucci Verdicchio. The Marche wine region also boasts a long winemaking heritage that spans thousands of years with influences from Etruscans, Romans and Lombards way back when!
