i. Biography
The Climb
Training at Liceo Scientifico Luigi di Savoia di Ancona and then at the University of Perugia gave Carlo Garofoli the technical base that later carried into cellar work. The sequence matters here: formal enology first, then the daily discipline of production. In a wine career, that kind of preparation shows up as method — less improvisation than calibration, with the training in place before the work in Castelfidardo and Marche, Italy began to define the rest.
Today
Verdicchio is the grape that most clearly marks Carlo Garofoli’s work at Garofoli in Castelfidardo. As winemaker, he works inside a family name that has long been tied to place, and the role is measured against that continuity. The task is direct: keep the winery’s identity legible in the wine, with Castelfidardo as the fixed point and Verdicchio as the clearest expression of his stated specialty.
