Marche

With a strong vocation to plurality, Marche focuses mainly on the sea: from north to south, its wines tell stories of autonomy and great hard work.

In the province of Ancona we find the denomination Lacrima di Morro d'Alba DOC, which enhances a red wine based on Lacrima and which is striking for the intensity of its floral scents (especially of pink and violet): in some ways an unforgettable product.

Entering the central part of the region, Verdicchio is at the base of the production of Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva DOCG, Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva DOCG and the respective DOC of origin. It is famous for its fascinating color enriched with green-gold nuances and for the use, by a producer, of a singular amphora-shaped bottle.

Further south, in the province of Macerata, Vernaccia di Serrapetrona DOCG could surprise you with its froth. It is in fact a sparkling wine, of very limited production, based on the grapes of Vernaccia Nera which undergoes three fermentations.

Towards the border with Abruzzo, Offida DOCG, Terre d'Offida DOC and Falerio DOC tell us two other white grapes typical of the Marches that, only a few years ago, have rediscovered a new life: Passerina and Pecorino.

The Marches also know how to be effective, non-local interpreters of non-local grapes such as Sangiovese and Montepulciano; halfway between the impressive productions of Emilia-Romagna and Abruzzo, Conero DOCG and Rosso Piceno DOC provide their interpretation of these two vines by putting them together. On the other hand, if we also consider white grapes, macro-denominations help us, such as Colli Pesaresi DOC and Colli Maceratesi DOC, which bring together an articulated group of types of wines.
