Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks over 20 days at controlled temperatures of 14–16°C. The must underwent hyper-oxygenation to minimise the use of sulphites. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for five months in 100hl stainless steel vats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCantine Belisario is a 300-hectare cooperative winery in the Matelica DOC, Marche, founded in 1971, where the only permitted grape is Verdicchio. The co-op owns 24 hectares of organically farmed vineyards, inland from the Castelli di Jesi DOC, where the climate is more continental. Here, the combination of warm days and cool nights extend the growing season, allowing the grape's aromatics to develop. As a result, harvest occurs as late as the second half of October. These vines are the source of Cantine Belisario’s organic ‘Vigneti B’ Verdicchio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64609654833529,"sku":"102104424","price":18.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/CantineBelisarioVignetiBVerdicchiodiMatelica.jpg?v=1789567467","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/cantine-belisario-vigneti-b-verdicchio-di-matelica-2024","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
