Spumante Dosaggio Zero Col Fondo “Numerosei”

Added to Your Favorites Added to Your Favorites

I am not ashamed to say that recently this bottle accompanied me to my first meal of the day. It was a sunny, lazy Sunday morning quickly shifting into afternoon and the only plan for it was simple: Oysters. Somewhere outside. By the water. What could be better? Adding a bottle of Numerosei, as it turns out.
This citrusy sparkler from the brother and sister team at La Marca di San Michele has playful hallmarks of both a pet-nat and metodo classico. It is refermented with extended elévage in bottle and the wine is left undisgorged and unfiltered—all lending texture and complexity. The Verdicchio variety is unmistakably fresh, fun, and chalky here, harkening to the vineyards in which it’s grown, on millions-of-years-old limestone slopes that used to be under the sea. The wine’s salinity finds balance with a delightfully tart note of lemon rind and lo and behold, the whole Sunday scene read flawlessly: bobbing boats in a harbor, plates laden with bivalve shells, morning-turned afternoon slipping into an open-ended evening, and the bottle of wine, which tied it all together.

About The Producer

La Marca di San Michele

La Marca di San Michele in Cupramontana is run by the sibling team of Alessandro Bonci, Beatrice Bonci, and Daniela Quaresima. They are light years ahead of most of their neighbors in growing their six hectares of Verdicchio vines entirely organically, vinifying with minimal sulfur, and bottling unfiltered. Cupramontana is the birthplace of Verdicchio production in Le Marche–the region’s first vineyards were registered in 1471. La Marca refers to a “border district.” All of these territories were united to form the region of “Le Marche,” the only Italian region that takes the plural. The dynamic young leadership of La Marca is producing wines that will inspire your senses and transport you to this breathtaking land.

About The Region

Le Marche

map of Le Marche

Le Marche’s reputation as a producer of fine wine is relatively recent, as the region is very much off the beaten path for tourists and tasters alike. And yet, early Etrsucan and Roman civilizations grew grapes here, a tradition that persists and continues to gain momentum in this undulating land where the Apennines descend to the Adriatic.

In between the warm coastline and the cool, rugged mountainous border with Umbria lies a landscape of calcareous rolling hills that provide ideal conditions for viticulture. The zingy, green-tinged, citrus- and pine-scented Verdicchio is king here, producing delightfully crisp whites that perfectly complement the fresh fish and seafood stews of the Adriatic, in addition to the pork-based dishes that are staples inland. Around the towns of Jesi and Matelica, the grape takes on an additional dimension and is even capable of significant aging under the right conditions.

While our involvement in the region is recent, the two producers we represent demonstrate that Le Marche is capable of producing whites of serious interest, which often come at great value.
