Marche

Viticulture in the Marche has ancient roots dating back to Etruscan times, and over the centuries, it has become an important activity for the local economy, with medieval expansion of cultivation thanks to the Benedictine monks.
The fame of Marche wines spread throughout Europe in the 19th century, only to suffer a crisis due to competition from wines of other Italian regions. It regained prominence only in recent decades, thanks to the rediscovery of native varieties and the introduction of new cultivation and winemaking techniques.

Thanks to its pedoclimatic characteristics, the Marche is particularly suited to viticulture, although the climate varies greatly depending on the arrangement and altitude of the relief. In coastal and southern areas, the climate is Mediterranean, warmer and drier, while in the inland and northern areas, it is continental, with greater temperature variations and the risk of frost.
Soils also vary depending on the subzone: three types of soils can be identified – calcareous soils in the hilly areas, clayey soils in the flat valleys, and sandy soils in the coastal strip.

Piceno

These are still sparsely urbanized lands of rare beauty, where the vine has found a fertile abode and speaks a plural language: indigenous white grape varieties such as Trebbiano, Passerina, and the rediscovered Pecorino coexist with the delicate rusticity of Sangiovese red and the vigorous strength of Montepulciano black.

From the blend of the former arises the Falerio and from the latter the Rosso Piceno Superiore, wines with a strong territorial vocation that now coexist with the Offida DOCG and the interesting interpretations of single-varietal wines. In fact, in the area, there is a production of one DOCG, Offida (Pecorino, Passerina, Rosso), and 3 DOC (Falerio, Rosso Piceno, and Rosso Piceno Superiore, Terre di Offida).

The territory is characterized by an early conversion to organic farming of the majority of vineyard lands and beyond, with agricultural work deeply oriented towards respecting nature: all this determines the quality of the wines of the Piceno hills. Here, the climate is continental, characterized by cold winters and hot summers; the clayey soils express their maximum potential.
Among the pristine lands of Piceno, the vine speaks an ancient and varied language.
