Maceratino

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maceratino is a rarely grown white wine from the Italian region of Marche . It is approved there in the province of Macerata . Small plantings are also known in the provinces of Ancona and Asccoli Piceno . The forested area is given as approx. 380 hectares . It is often also called Greco Maceratino. As can be seen from the list of synonyms, a relationship with the varieties Greco Bianco or Verdicchio is suspected. If this were to be confirmed, she would belong to the large Trebbiano family. In Marche it is used in wines from the Denominazione di origine controllata Colli Maceratesi . The variety makes straw yellow wines that are slightly fragrant and neutral in taste.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. She is hairy white wool. The shoot tip is colored white-green. The young leaves are lightly woolly hairy and greenish in color, but spotted brown.
  • The large leaves are five-lobed and indented to medium depth. The stem bay is lyren-shaped open. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth are medium in size compared to other varieties.
  • The conical to cylindrical grape is large and dense. The round berries are medium-sized and golden yellow in color. The taste of the berries is neutral.

The vigorous grape variety ripens approx. 30 - 35 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen very late. The yields are usually very high, so that targeted vine training must be used to reduce the yield in order to achieve good wine quality.
