5 DOCG WINE AREAS OF LE MARCHE
The wine region of Le Marche stretches across five DOCG areas between the Apennines and the Adriatic coast. Despite its compact size, each wine area has its own unique identity.
Discover fresh and elegant Verdicchio wines from the heart of Le Marche, powerful red wines from the south, and exceptional terroirs where the sea, mountains and altitude come together to create distinctive wines.
VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI WINE REGION
The most famous wine area of Le Marche is the home of the renowned Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. Among rolling hills, numerous medieval villages (castelli) give the region its name.
Cupramontana, known as the capital of Verdicchio, lies at the heart of this remarkable wine area. Discover charming wineries and taste the elegant wines that make this terroir so unique.
BEAUTIFUL WINERIES IN LE MARCHE
In Le Marche, you will find hundreds of wineries scattered across the hills between the Apennines and the Adriatic coast.
It is impossible to discover them all during one holiday. With our personal recommendations, we help you find the most special wineries for an unforgettable wine journey.
WINE IN THE APENNINES
Thanks to the unique location between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea, Le Marche is also home to vineyards at higher altitudes.
Here, mountain air and distinctive terroirs create exceptional wines, especially in the Verdicchio di Matelica wine area. Combine a wine tasting with a beautiful drive through the mountains and discover a completely different side of this diverse region.
WINE ALONG THE ADRIATIC COAST
Le Marche is a unique wine region where vineyards and the Adriatic coast are surprisingly close together.
Visit charming wineries near the coast and combine a wonderful wine tasting with a relaxing afternoon by the sea.
