Cantina Garofoli Antica Casa Vinicola

Annual production amounts to about two million bottles, of which 35% to 40% are sold on the domestic market and the remainder on markets throughout the world, with the greatest concentration on those of northern Europe. More than 60% of production is of the DOC wines Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi (about 900,000 bottles), Rosso Cònero (approximately 200,000 bottles) and Rosso Piceno (about 220,000 bottles). The remaining output consists of IGT Marche wines (about 150,000 bottles), sparkling wines made with both the Charmat and Classic methods (about 90,000 bottles), two semi-sparkling wines (a white and a rosé, amounting to 150,000 bottles), vini da tavola (approximately 400,000 bottles) and a small production of raisin (passito) and other special wines. The grapes processed come partly from the four vineyards owned by the winery and partly from growers who have brought their entire output to Garofoli for years. That enables us to have close contact with the vineyards and directly oversee work during the growing season. Great attention is given to the phases of harvesting and vinification, since the moment of its “birth” is considered crucial to a wine’s life.
