Discovering the wine region of Marche
Marche (or Le Marche; pronounced Mar-kay) is a region in eastern CentralItaly. It is most associated with white wines made from Trebbiano and Verdicchio grapes. Marche occupies a roughly triangular area. Its longer sides are formed by the Apennine Mountains to the west and the Adriatic Sea to the east.
Emilia-Romagna and Abruzzo are its northern and southern neighbours respectively, and it is separated from Umbria only by the Apennines. The Marche has a number of terroirs that are very well suited to grape-growing. The rolling coastal hills, such as those around Ancona, are a notable example.
