Valter Mattoni’s personality can be understood by just referencing a photo of him. He’s a wild guy, working with a similar style with his wines. Always pushing the limits. His work in Castorano has always felt like a conversation between old-school vines and a fiercely curious winemaker. With Cose Cose, Valter crafts a Sangiovese that isn’t about richness or weight, but about giving voice to the grape and the soil it grows in. There’s a confidence here that comes from farming tiny plots with thoughtful hands and attention to detail. The vineyard, the way the fruit ripens, how the wine is handled — every choice reflects Valter’s commitment to letting Marche’s Sangiovese show its identity rather than be masked by technique. What draws us to this wine is its personality - it feels lived-in and sincere. You can feel the soil and the vine’s resilience in the backbone and energy of the wine - it does come from one of the most beautiful expositions for a vineyard that you’ve ever seen. The 2021 carries depth, but it’s the backbone that stands out. There’s acidity and grip that anchor the wine and keep it from feeling excessive. We value Valter because he represents a kind of fiercely independent Marche grower who doesn’t dilute his identity to fit expectations. Arshura feels deliberate and personal.
