Sartarelli

Sartarelli is a winery in Poggio San Marcello, Italy, founded in 1972 by Ferruccio Sartarelli. Ferruccio’s daughter Donatella manages the company with her husband Patrizio, while Caterina handles export markets and Tommaso is an oenologist.

The winery focuses exclusively on single-varietal Verdicchio production, and its vineyards retain permanent natural grass cover to prevent soil erosion and maintain organic matter. Winter pruning from December to March and green pruning from late April to late June are both carried out by hand, as is the harvest. In the cellar, Sartarelli uses membrane presses for soft pressing and stainless steel vessels exclusively for both vinification and ageing. Its wines include Sartarelli Brut, Sartarelli Classico, Tralivio, Balciana and Sartarelli Passito, with harvest dates ranging from late August for Brut to November for Balciana.
