In the hills around Matelica,
Tenuta Grimaldi Wine Resort opens onto one of those landscapes that instantly makes a strong case for staying longer than just a short visit. Verdicchio vineyards, rolling countryside and the Appennines framing the distance. The estate is firmly rooted in the Verdicchio di Matelica DOC area, with wine, views and open space all pulling in the same direction.
What gives it range is how much is built around the wine. Tastings and guided visits sit alongside a pool, spa, e-bikes and a long list of outdoor experiences, so the stay can move easily between wine weekend and full countryside reset.
By the second day, the pattern is already set: a tasting, a swim, a slower dinner, another look at the hills. Matelica is not always the first place people think of - which is part of the pleasure.
