Marche is a central Italian wine region stretching from the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic Sea, with rolling hills and coastal influences supporting both fresh whites and structured reds. It is best known for Verdicchio from Castelli di Jesi and Matelica, alongside Montepulciano- and Sangiovese-based reds such as Rosso Conero and Rosso Piceno, plus local specialties including Pecorino and Lacrima di Morro d’Alba.
