Andrea Felici

Andrea Felici is a family estate in Apiro, in the Marche, where the Felici family has tended vineyards between Apiro and Cupramontana for generations. Today the winery is led by Leopardo Felici, who returned home after gaining experience in restaurants and wine service abroad, bringing that broader perspective back to one of Italy’s great white grapes: Verdicchio.

The estate’s philosophy starts in the vineyard, with organic farming, hand harvesting and a focus on allowing each site to show its own character. In the cellar, Andrea Felici works with skin contact, stainless steel and vitrified cement rather than relying on overt oak, using lees aging and patient élevage to preserve Verdicchio’s freshness, structure and mineral expression.
