The best wineries in Marche.
Wine production in the Piceno area has achieved in recent years important numbers and results, especially related to the recognition of wines from local grape varieties: for this reason some business realities have thought of giving life to a body that would have the goal of defending this commitment. From this decision, in 2002, the Piceno Wines Consortium was created.
Currently, it is made up of 38 ordinary members: entrepreneurs are directly involved, for the activities that they implement, in one or more stages of production of the DOC protected by the Consortium. Thus, they deal with viticulture, vinification and bottling, engaging in their work, both to comply with the specification sanctioned with the DOC, as well as to share and take on the aims of the Consortium.
It is a satellite activity with significant numbers, given the young age of this initiative: a total of 120,000 hectoliters of DOC wines (2010/2011 data).
The Piceno Wines Consortium finds its essence in the mission that aims to accomplish, both in Italy and abroad: to protect, promote and enhance the local DOC, checking that they are produced in compliance with the specification. But most of all, it assumes the task to raise awareness and inform consumers: there is not future for a production of quality without a conscious consumer.
IMT was founded in 1999 and now can count on 1,200 vinegrowers partners of the Province of Ancona, Macerata, Pesaro–Urbino, which represent more than 90% of the Marche wine exported through more or less 200 bottlers.
IMT represents 45% of the surface of the Region grown with vines with more or less 9,000 hectares out of a total of 20,000 hectares that compose the Marche vineyard. The 9,000 hectares of vineyards represented in IMT are made of 50% of DOC and DOCG, and the remaining 50% of IGT vineyards gathered in the MARCHE geographical indication. The DOC – DOCG designations are 16, of which 4 are DOCG.
The whole vineyard park has been completely renovated over the last decade of the latest century, so the wine–growing division that IMT represents is modern, quality–oriented and focusing on results of excellence. Viticulture deals exclusively with hillsides facing south and contributes to the characterization of a landscape that expresses the very high vocation both of the soil and climate environment and of the human component that has moved into the modern vineyard management the ancient farmers’ wisdom, result of the observations and of the experience in the field and established with the succeeding of many generations.
Viticulture, in these three provinces of the Marche region, brought a radical change that after world war II onwards has seen the countryside depopulated in favor of craftmanship, of small and medium industries and recently of services. Only viticulture has been able to secure an income for those who, for passion, for lifestyle choice, has decided to tie its future to the ground, giving up with the proclamations and the advantages of living in the city.
In the heart of the Marche region. In a lush hillside 350 meters above sea level. Among the gentle valleys and the characteristic medieval villages, Casalfarneto dominates a landscape full of charm and appeal.
The property was founded in 1995 and currently consists of three ancient houses and a modern winery, owes its name from a variety of centuries–old oak tree characteristic of the area. The area in which it is located is extraordinarily suited to viticulture.
Expanses of greenery far as the eye can see: 32 lush hectares of land of which 25 are vineyards.
Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico, winning with quality and firmness, dominates the production; Montepulciano , Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot relaunch the challenge showing all the preciousness of 5 hectares planted with red grapes. And yet, neat rows of knotty olive trees of various qualities, produce an extra virgin olive that in its roundness encompasses all the more intense flavors and aromas of the hills.
Passion and dedication, respect for the environment. Traditional methods that are woven skillfully with the most innovative technologies. And in this way Casalfarneto continues its story, continuing to invest in quality to aim to excellence.
