Shop Wines

A story of love for the land, that of the Marchionni family, today owners of Collestefano. Farmers since always, the Marchionnis came here, to Rustano near Castelraimondo (Province of Macerata) in the 1960s, leaving behind a life too meager and ungenerous in the nearby Camerino. Their hard work leads to the purchase – and we are already in 1978 - of this small hamlet called Collestefano. But the road of redemption, peace and recognition of the talent of farmers is still long and arduous. It will take many years to make shine the name of this winery in the circle of great Italian wine producers. It was necessary, in fact, to wait until Fabio, son of Benedetto and Anna, reached cultural and professional maturity. We are in 1998, and Fabio, newly graduated in Enology and arriving fresh from an experience of wine production and trade in a German wine shop, bottles the first vintage of Verdicchio di Matelica, flanked by his parents, irreplaceable, and by his wife Silvia, who divides her time between the work on the farm and raising their daughters, Elena and Serena.
