La Monacesca farm is located in the municipality of Matelica, in Contrada Monacesca, about 4 km from the town, along the road that leads to Fabriano. Its registered office is in Civitanova Marche and its operational headquarters with warehouse and bottling plant is in the municipality of Potenza Picena, always within the province of Macerata.
The area where we are located owes its name to the settlement, around the year 900 AD, of a small group of Benedictine monks of the order of Farfa who, fleeing from northern Italy due to the Lombards’ persecution, decided to settle in this hermitage and built a small church and a convent (now fully restored and part of the corporate village): this beautiful land, then, took over time the name of Monacesca, chosen starting from 1966 as corporate brand, when Casimiro Cifola purchased farmhouses and began to plant the first vineyards and to build a winery for vinification. The earliest production of Verdicchio di Matelica with our brand goes back to 1973, the starting point of an amazing adventure, where since 1982 Casimiro is helped by his son Aldo, the current head of the company, whose support is crucial to further increase the efforts to improve technically any qualitative aspect that allows to enhance the best features of our fantastic main vine.
