The 3 pillars of drinking in Le Marche

The colour of the Rosso Piceno

The Rosso Piceno is generally of an intense and deep red, with a great structure to be consumed two years after ageing in large and small casks, even if it is often further improved with additional ageing in the bottle.

A glass of this refined wine is perfect with many dishes, including grilled meat and particularly roast game with bay leaf. It is also ideal with cold meats, pecorino cheese and all mature cheeses.

Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva, the wine that comes from the sea

The Verdicchio is produced in the hills of the Macerata region close to Matelica. It is well recognised by its distinctive straw-yellow colour. It has an inebriating perfume and is generally full-bodied with a good structure.

This wine is very versatile, it can be consumed as an aperitif or combined with fish dishes with vegetables. It is an excellent accompaniment to fish soups, braised or baked fish. It is also good with white meats. It is a wine that is born in the hills but is shaped by the influence of the sea, given that the sea arrived that high many years ago. This has bestowed its special sapidity.

The fame of Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva

Verdicchio di Jesi is by far and wide the most famous in Le Marche region and it is undoubtedly one of the best Italian (and maybe international) white wines. The grapes are directly selected on the vine favouring the lots that the experience of the wine-grower has proven to be perfect for maturation.
