The Producer: Andrea Felici
Andrea Felici’s winery, located in the Marche region of Italy, specializes in producing Verdicchio wines. Run by Leopardo Felici since 2007, the estate practices organic viticulture, emphasizing minimal intervention and natural methods. The vineyard, perched 516 meters above sea level, benefits from the cool, breezy climate, which enhances the wines’ acidity and minerality. The winery produces two wines: “Il Cantico della Figura” and “Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore,” both known for their purity and ability to age gracefully.
In 2020, he won the coveted award for ‘Italy’s Best Winemaker’ by the Gambero Rosso Guide, and from there his star power has only continued to soar.
