Podere L’Infinito
View winesPodere L’Infinito begins with inheritance—not money or land, but a relationship with the vineyard. In Staffolo, Marco Simonetti turned the bond with his grandfather Dino (a viticulturist “by passion”) into something tangible after a decade of experience in the family business, choosing to build a winery that could carry his own vision forward.
In 2018, he bought the first parcel of land and gave it a name that reads like a promise: Podere L’Infinito, conceived from the start as an independent, organic estate intended for future generations.
That promise became a place. The production side of the winery was completed in 2020, and in 2022 the more contemporary part of the structure was finished—home to the tasting room and direct sales, with open views across vines and valleys.
Location
The vineyards sit on Staffolo’s soft hills at around 400 meters altitude, a position shaped by two balancing forces: Adriatic marine breezes on one side, and diurnal temperature swings influenced by nearby mountains on the other.
It’s a natural home for white grapes—especially Verdicchio, described as the historic native variety of the Castelli di Jesi—with Montepulciano and Sangiovese also present for the estate’s red expressions.
The scale remains intimate and focused: the estate cultivates 12 hectares of vineyards in and around Staffolo.
Winemaking & Philosophy
Everything here is built around respect for natural transformation—staying close to the vineyard so the wine can hold tension, salinity, and clarity rather than being pushed into shape.
The farming is explicitly certified organic, with choices like manual work between the rows, spontaneous cover grassing, organic fertilization, and active protection of biodiversity.
In the details, the craftsmanship is practical: hand-harvest in crates, careful attention to pruning (including the Simonit&Sirch method), and a steady presence in the vines all the way to picking.
Sustainability extends beyond the field as well—an estate designed into the slope for natural insulation and ventilation, a rooftop photovoltaic system completed in 2023, and (from 2025) exclusive use of lightweight glass bottles plus FSC-certified paper for labels and cartons.
