History
Melitites is the result of a collaboration between Cantine Belisario and the Montani Beekeepers Cooperative in the Matelica area. The concept is to blend Verdicchio must with forest honeydew honey, inspired by ancient traditions cited by Pliny the Elder. The outcome is a beverage halfway between aromatic wine and natural sweet elixir, designed to age gracefully.
Composition / Method
Based on must of Verdicchio di Matelica with added honeydew honey from Matelica hills. Alcoholic fermentation is carefully managed to harmonize with the honey’s sweetness, achieving a balance among freshness, structure and aromatic roundness.
Alcohol content
14 % vol (estimated average)
Tasting notes
Warm amber color. Aromas of yellow flowers, ripe fruit, honey, almond and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is soft and complex, with well‑controlled sweetness and a long finish of honey, citrus and gentle spice notes.
Food pairing
Excellent with aged or blue cheeses, creamy desserts, dried fruit, artisan pastries, dark chocolate—and even with a cigar or as a meditative wine to sip on its own.
