Marche

The essence of Le Marche Between the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic coast lies Le Marche, a region that blends Italian refinement with natural authenticity. Its red wines are expressive and balanced – combining sunshine, freshness and elegance. Montepulciano and Sangiovese form the heart of these wines, delivering depth, spice and silky texture. Terroir – the power of contrast The rolling hills of Le Marche enjoy a mild climate tempered by sea breezes and mountain air. Clay, limestone and sandstone soils give the wines balance and finesse. The Rosso Piceno appellation showcases the best of this underappreciated region. Velenosi – modern elegance rooted in tradition At Vinifera Fine Wines, Velenosi represents the refined face of modern Le Marche. Founded in Ascoli Piceno by Angela and Ercole Velenosi, the estate combines innovation with deep respect for terroir and tradition. Their red wines – blends of Montepulciano and Sangiovese – offer ripe fruit, balsamic notes, hints of spice and a silky structure. Velenosi crafts wines of charm and balance, proving that Le Marche belongs among Italy’s great regions. Food Pairing – refined versatility Red Le Marche wines shine alongside: Rosso Piceno Superiore: pasta with ragù, roasted poultry or lamb chops. Montepulciano blends: grilled vegetables, mushroom risotto or roasted meats. Aged Velenosi wines: game, ossobuco or mature cheeses. Balanced, expressive and elegant – wines that bring the heart of Italy to the table.
