About Marche

Marche wine country stretches from Adriatic-facing hills to inland valleys, offering far more than one signature white or red. Verdicchio links the Castelli di Jesi hills with the separate, more inland Matelica valley, each with its own DOC and riserva DOCG identities. Around Offida, Pecorino and Passerina offer distinctive whites while Montepulciano gives the red a different voice. Discover fragrant Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, Ribona around Macerata, Bianchello beside the Metauro and Aleatico in Pergola. Vernaccia di Serrapetrona adds a rare red sparkling tradition, distinct from still Serrapetrona DOC. Follow origin, grape, colour and sweetness to explore a region where familiar coastal names lead to many smaller wine discoveries.
