Anthony Verdoni and Gian Luigi Calzetta of Monte Schiavo admire the fruit of the La Vite vineyards.

Monte Schiavo and La Vite are properties and cantinas owned by the Pieralisi family, the most prominent producer of olive oil equipment in the world. Although the winery is renowned for red wines, such as Rosso Conero and Rosso Piceno, they are best known for Verdicchio. They are the second largest land owner in the Classico sub-zone of Castelli di Jesi. No one produces a finer range of Verdicchio wines: including sparkling Verdicchio Brut “Vigne Tassinare”; two crus, “Colle del Sole” and “Coste del Molino”; late harvest Pallio di San Floriano; and barrique aged Bando di San Settimio.
