The best wineries in Marche.
The passion for the land, the dedication and the constant search for the best cultivation techniques, as well as the high quality standards for the processing of wine, have helped give birth to the "Il Pollenza" winemaking company, located partly in the town of Tolentino and partly in the town of Pollenza.
The estate is located in the beautiful landscape of the hills of Macerata that Count Brachetti–Peretti purchased more than twenty years ago by the Princes Antici Mattei, with a beautiful building of the sixteenth century designed by Sangallo. It covers over 200 hectares, of which about 60 are devoted to vineyards. The winery, technologically advanced, ensures limited production of wines of great quality and with futuristic tools for storing wine. The tanks, on the advice of the great internationally renowed oenologist, Mr. Giacomo Tachis, are in vitrified cement and metal, distinguished by the names of the family.
The idea of the company was conceived a few years ago by the passion for the world of wine by Stefano Bondanelli, a geologist who, after having obtained the title of AIS sommelier, graduated also in Viticulture and Oenology at the Alma Mater University of Bologna becoming oenologist.
With the participation of Laura Fagioli (as a partner) and Laura Brignone (partner and legal representative) an agricultural society was created, originally called "Villa d’Este" by virtue of the origins from Ferrara of the founders. Meanwhile, the training program of the oenologist was completed with important experiences at wineries of Romagna and Marche. In the summer of 2013 the new brand "Vigna degli Estensi" was registered.
The mission has two key objectives: the quality of products on the one hand, respect and enhancement of the environment on the other. The project is therefore achieved with the help of all the tools provided by technology, in full compatibility and environmental sustainability.
On the wonderful Marche hills, about 220 m above sea level, in the hinterland of Senigallia, there is a unique land, of clay and limestone, that combined with the saline air from the nearby sea welcomes as the only mother ground two native grape varieties from which two exceptional wines come: Lacrima di Morro d’Alba DOC and Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC.
Perfumes and history led us to plant them in 2008 on four hectares adjacent to the Estate allowing us to produce four labels between Base and Superior, all vinified in single–variety. With a plant order in the vineyard equal to 5,700 plants per hectare cultivated with Guyot with a production reduced to a single kg of grapes per vine.
In the field we do not use herbicides nor chemical fertilizers; the winemaking process uses traditional methods with low environmental impact: our aim is integrated Bio–Dynamic. Harvest is done only by hand and being in the winery within the vineyard area, pressing is made within one hour from collection, allowing to reduce to 50% the use of sulfites, compared to traditional methods.
The use in the cellar of the most innovative winemaking techniques allows to work grapes and juice in the total absence of oxygen and to preserve and maximize the typical aromas of Lacrima and Verdicchio. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature using a geothermal plant powered 100% by renewable sources.
Cignano wine company is named after the area in which its crops are grown: an estate in the hills of the Adriatic Sea, close to the river Metauro, near the ancient Forum Semproni. The company, with its 80,000 vines of Bianchello, Sangiovese and Montepulciano, 500 olive trees and 60 hectares of cereal crops, is located in Isola di Fano, a hamlet of Fossombrone (PU), at an altitude of 250 m above sea level, 20 km from the sea and 40 km from the Marche Apennines.
50 years of agricultural tradition, handed down from father to son: it is 1960 when Antonio and Mario Bucchini moved their first steps in winemaking. Today Annibale and Fabio continue with passion the family tradition: a farming reality grown referring to high popular wisdom, always following the saying of "do not bite off more than you can chew".
The company is constantly evolving: in recent years, it has invested heavily both in the vineyard and in the winery, and also thanks to the professionalism of the oenologist Alberto Mazzoni, who looks after the company’s quality, the Cignano wines have achieved excellent quality levels.
Along the Musone valley from the sea to the inland, leaving behind, built on the hills that line it, before Loreto, with the majestic dome of its basilica, then the strongholds of Castelfidardo and Osimo, you reach the village of Casenuove; taking the gravel road in front of the old bishop’s palace you step into our company: on top on the right corner there is a vineyard, clinging to the southern slope of the "Monte Torto" hill, right above the archaeological site of "Monte Torto di Casenuove" where a production plant of the Roman period (I century BC - II century AD) for the processing of grapes and olives was brought to light; a little further down on the left there is the cellar, obtained in charming barrel vault rooms of the old "Casone", a residence and agricultural center of the vast "Tenuta di Monte Torto" estate, owned by the bishops of Osimo, from the medieval period until 1861, then farmhouse with sharecropping care until recent years.
The name of our wines is linked to the history of the territory in which they are made: during the sharecropping period the owner had divided his possessions in various agricultural funds with attached farmhouse and had entrusted the management families; each fund was identified by a name: Casone, Monte Torto, Monticello etc. This economic organization no longer exists, but the landscape and farming architecture of this land bear traces of it and those names are still alive today in our labels.
From this natural, cultural, historical and social heritage and from human labor our products are created: grapes are those of the adjacent to the winery vineyards: 6.3 hectares in total, 4 of Montepulciano, 1 of Merlot, 1 of Fiano and 0.3 of Incrocio Manzoni.
As for wines, it is up to you to judge them; come and visit us: on the occasion, in addition to taste our products, you can visit the winery and the archaeological site; we are open all year round, on Fridays from 4:00 to 7:00 pm and on Saturdays from 9:00 to 12:00 am and from 3:00 to 7:00 pm.
Ripa Marchetti is a farm founded from the desire of those who love to touch the ground with their hands, feel the smells, hear the stories of the people who live it every day.
In Maiolati Spontini, in the heart of Verdicchio, it is still possible to live intense, full of humanity and respect experiences. The passion of two friends, love for the beauty of our land, the professionalism of those who have always been used to face the challenges, gave life to this new project.
Started in 2004, we found an old vineyard in one of the best Verdicchio Classico areas. Exposure to the northeast, the low yields and the care of the grapes are the conditions to create a product with unique characteristics: freshness and texture, complexity and drinkability. Our mission is to create a wine that stands out, but a wine to drink often and with pleasure, even in the most common occasions.
Azienda Agricola Quacquarini Lanfranco, thanks to the experience gained over time, both in the cultivation of vineyards and in the art of wine making, can rightly boast the distinction of being among the leading companies in the area.
The company is family run, it has started its activities around the fifties with the father of Lanfranco, Raffaele, who acknowledged in Vernaccia an excellent wine to make known and in 1960 began its production and sale. In 2010 he celebrated the 50th anniversary of the founding of the winery.
The company covers an area of 60 hectares, of which 12 are specialized in vine. The vineyard is elevated in contained forms (Guyot) with a charge of 8 to10 buds, so as to ensure a production that ranges around 4 kg/strain.
The recourse to the normal growing techniques, in accordance with the regulations governing biological control, in addition to the advanced technologies of the winery, allow to enhance the integrity and originality of this red sparkling wine.
Polenta winery is a small family–run farm that is strictly artisanal. Located in the heart of the Conero Park between the sunny hills of the Mount, above the bay of Portonovo, surrounded by a natural and perfectly preserved landscape. The company has about 3 hectares of "white lands" (calcareous on clay base) devoted to the vineyard, carefully chosen by location and exposure out of the 10 hectares of the estate. The production of wine is made from grapes of Montepulciano conducted with the farming system of spurred cordon and is the result of a project begun in 2002 in collaboration with the friend oenologist Mr. Giancarlo Soverchia.
The aphorism chosen to represent our production is a metaphor used by Dante to depict the human soul that, as wine, is made from the union of the sun’s heat (the divine soul) with the sap of the vine (the natural soul).
Podere Santa Lucia is an independent winery that produces unique wines from local varieties of our region: Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Lacrima di Morro d’Alba. Ours is a family business concentrated in the production of local wines
maintaining quality and distinction, combining tradition and technology.
Our philosophy is to produce authentic wines that reflect the natural, typical features of our land and our vines as naturally as possible without artificial forcing.
This reflects our philosophy and the philosophy of drinking well and healthy.
This allows us to have a special attention towards the vegetative stages of the vine, a careful attention to combating diseases of the plant itself, performing an integrated farming. This means checking the climate ranges and the state of the vines and intervene only when necessary with environmentally friendly products, to bring to the maturation of healthy grapes.

The vineyards are based on the Varano hill at about 200 meters of height, on calcareous clay soil. The special microclimate of Conero and the continuous exposure to the sea winds allows lighting and optimum temperatures for a production of grapes and oils of great quality.
