The product
What Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is
Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is one of the best-known white wines of the Marche region, produced in the hilly inland area of the province of Ancona. It is made from the Verdicchio grape variety, grown mainly between Jesi and the surrounding small villages, where breezy conditions and clay-limestone soils help produce fresh, well-structured wines. It is known for aromas of green apple, almond, and white flowers, along with a lively acidity that makes it very versatile at the table. It is often associated with the traditional amphora-shaped bottle, which over the years has become a recognizable symbol of Marche wine.
The roots
Origin and history
The cultivation of the Verdicchio grape in the hills around Jesi has ancient origins, probably linked to the spread of viticulture as early as the medieval period. The wine began gaining national recognition in the twentieth century, when several local producers improved production and distribution techniques. In 1968 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi became one of the first Italian DOC wines, marking an important milestone in promoting and protecting the territory. Over time the designation has evolved to include classic, riserva, and sparkling versions.
This bottle tells the story of the meeting between the Adriatic Sea and the hills of inland Marche. It carries the idea of a region that is less touristy yet rich in strong agricultural and gastronomic traditions. It is an invitation to slow down, share a meal, and remember the landscape from which it comes.
