Filodivino's
Filodivino
Back in 2013, Alberto Gandolfi and his wife Alida come to a decision: they will sell the family textile company in northern Italy, and venture into winemaking in search of a balanced relationship with nature.
Our story
Their meeting with Le Marche is a fateful one: near San Marcello, Alberto and Alida come across a ruined farmhouse, surrounded by seventeen hectares of mostly neglected vineyard with fifty-year-old Verdicchio vines. They decide to rebuild the country house and look after the land and vineyards. Their dream of making wine has found the perfect setting, a beautiful scenery that they will share in respectfully and responsibly.
The reclaimed vineyard is expanded with new plots of Verdicchio, Lacrima, and international grape varieties, while the underground winery is built and set up for production. Meanwhile, the old farmhouse is rebuilt to become the Filodivino Resort, offering its signature seasonal cuisine based on local specialties. The addition of the spa and infinity pool completes this island of wellbeing set amid the vineyards of the Marche.
The Responsibility
Each step we take adheres to the principle of responsibility towards nature and the people involved in our project. Our renovation project was awarded to local contractors and craftsmen, working to the standards set by the Itaca protocol. This means using – to the greatest possible extent – recycled or reclaimed materials, made with renewable energy, and manufactured locally.
Our winery was designed and built to naturally minimize energy consumption, and to integrate gently with the surrounding environment. We work the vineyards with organic farming methods.

Our team
The Thread
No company is an island of its own. In our work, we at Filodivino come into contact with other people and businesses in the area. Wineries and other producers, with whom we join forces to protect and promote the local economy and environment, suppliers of local produce and raw materials, artists and craftsmen, entire communities. We believe that joining forces in a network is essential to restoring a healthy relationship between man and nature.
Thus, the name Filodivino, originally referencing our being descended from a textile company, takes on new meaning: "un filo", a thread runs from winery to resort, to restaurant, to pool and spa, binding them together in quiet, refined elegance. That same thread goes beyond the boundaries of Filodivino and is woven with many others into the fabric of a local community, marked by respect and sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Filodivino?
Filodivino is a wine resort and spa in the heart of Italy, located in San Marcello, on the hills of the province of Ancona. The project combines top-tier hospitality, a winery, and wellness, offering a complete experience centered on relaxation, elegance, and understated luxury.
Filodivino produces organic wines from Italy, specifically Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, in collaboration with winemaker Luca D’Attoma. Filodivino is thus an ideal destination for those seeking a resort nestled among vineyards in Italy, where they can enjoy an authentic experience surrounded by wine, nature, and the local landscape.
How did Filodivino come to be?
Filodivino began as a new chapter in the lives of Alberto Gandolfi and his wife Alida Beretta, following a successful career in the technical yarns industry. The name Filodivino evokes the union of the worlds of “thread” and wine—the story of Alberto and his family.
The project took shape in the heart of Italy, in San Marcello, through the restoration of an abandoned Verdicchio vineyard and a dilapidated farmhouse. Thanks in part to the collaboration of architect Cristiana Dall’Acqua, these spaces were transformed into what is now the Filodivino Wine Resort & Spa. From this vision emerged a destination that combines a winery, hospitality, and the local territory, becoming a go-to spot for those seeking a wine resort in Italy nestled among the vineyards.
Where is the estate located?
Filodivino Wine Resort & Spa is located in the center of Italy, in San Marcello, in the province of Ancona, just a few kilometers from Jesi and Senigallia, specifically at Via Serra, 46 – 60030, San Marcello (AN).
The estate is situated in a privileged location, between the Adriatic coast and the hinterland of the Sibillini Mountains, in the heart of Italy. This region, rich in history and tradition, is particularly suited to wine production and the food and wine experience. Thanks to this location, Filodivino is an ideal destination for those seeking a wine resort in Italy surrounded by nature, among vineyards, the sea, and the mountains.
Who are the founders?
The founders of Filodivino are Alberto Gandolfi and his wife Alida Beretta.
What is the philosophy behind the Filodivino project?
The philosophy of the Filodivino project stems from a desire to understand, promote, and share the best of Italy, particularly the Castelli di Jesi area. At its core lies a strong sense of responsibility, which translates into respect for local history and traditions, care for the land, and meaningful relationships with the community, suppliers, and partners. This approach is also reflected in the commitment to sustainable agriculture, producing clean, high-quality wines from Italy, and offering attentive, authentic, and top-tier hospitality. Filodivino thus represents a project that unites winery, wine resort, and territory, with the goal of creating a complete and cohesive experience in Italy.
What is the connection to the Marche region, in Italy?
Filodivino was born out of a deep connection to the Marche region in italy, an area rich in cultural, culinary, and hospitality traditions. Alberto and Alida fell in love with this area and its vast, yet largely undiscovered potential, giving life to a project aimed at showcasing it and sharing it with guests and customers, both in Italy and abroad. Through the production of Italian wines, hospitality at the wine resort, and experiences tied to the region, Filodivino showcases the authenticity and quality of this italian region, helping to make it an increasingly popular destination.
