About the Winery:
The name Santa Barbara pays homage to our land, our tradition and those we worship.
The history of this place dates back to the 6th century when Senigallia was a Byzantine city and a Lombardic (and therefore “barbarian”) outpost was set up in a nearby village.
Since then, that village took the name of Barbara which is where our winery is located today, having the privilege of being housed in an old monastery.
Notes from the Winemaker:
Each wine that comes out of traditional patterns starts from an idea born a little by chance and a little by wager. We’ve always had the conviction that Verdicchio is one of the few white wines which can be exalted either the fermentation or in wood refining. From the use of woods different for typology and size, was born the Stefano Antonucci White, a wine which exalts the features of our wonderful region, Le Marche.
Grape: Verdicchio
Type of Soil: Medium density with exposure to the East and Southeast at an elevation of 250m
Wine-making: The wine is fermented over 4 weeks in stainless steel vats at a constant temperature. It is then left to mature in French oak
barriques
Tasting Notes:
Color: Intense yellow with golden reflections
Nose: Intense smell of fruit including the exotic
Palate: A sapid and voluminous taste, with an appealing sour ending. The
aromatic mark of the barrique does not overhang the rich fruity
vein
