Azienda Agricola Filippo Maraviglia

The Maraviglia company was founded in year 2004 by the will and the passion of the whole family. A surface area of over 13 hectares, entirely devoted to the pursuit of production excellence, which extends on the land of the Piannè di Matelica locality. Matelica, an ancient town in the Piceno area and Roman municipality, is located in the Marche region, in the province of Macerata, in the middle of a valley, the high valley of Esino, inner and parallel to the sea, that extends from the Sillini mountains to the south until mount Catria to the north.
Here, where the mountains of the Apennines are nearer and the profiles of the countryside take mountain features, the territory still jealously guards places rich in art, traditions, history and culture.


The wine terroir of Matelica shows vineyards in average–high hills and a microclimate of strong temperature ranges. Starting from these conditions, wines with floral bouquets come out, which have in their strong accents the image of their "terroir".


To describe Matelica, the adjectives used to talk about its most famous product, Verdicchio DOC, would be enough: "Harmonious, elegant, special". These are the spells of the land and of the "nectar" that is produced here. Here, Verdicchio, Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grape varieties are grown.


The annual production is of about 30,000 bottles.

The cultivation of vines is bond to principles of high quality:
hilly lands with southern exposure whose vine rows extend north-south, enclosed in a narrow valley where the soil is very rich in trace elements.

This valley, scientifically classified as a “camerte syncline”, tightly enclosed between the Apennine Mountains and the Pre–Appennine ones, is characterized by the promontory of San Vicino. The Bisci winery is located among vineyards, was built in 1980 partly adapting old country houses and partly realizing appropriate and modern buildings.

Today we are committed to refurbish and renovate the vineyard and to improve the tools and methods of vinification. In the vineyards we increased the density of plants per hectare in order to lower the yield per plant, and we have developed new installations. In the winery, as well as in buying new French oak barrels and new stainless steel fermenters, we have strengthened the fermentation temperature control systems and stabilized the heat in the environments for aging and fining of wines in order to preserve the best quality.
