The region of the Marches has a very good wine tradition, thanks to the presence of the Etruscan civilization that helped develop the production and diffusion of the region’s wine. Ancient historians and naturalist praised the local wines, especially the ones in the areas of Piceno and Ancona.
Between the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, the wine industry was strongly hit by the phylloxera epidemic.
Today, the region of the Marches has a great territory, spacious hill areas, and is heading in a positive direction for its wine industry, thanks to the quantity and quality of the many wines it produces, and because it is always open to new blends.
Historic wines and excellent vintages are Rosso Piceno, Rosso del Conero, Verdicchio dei Castelli Jesi and Bianchello del Metauro.
