The Marche region's greatest and most internationally recognised white wine, produced from the Verdicchio grape in the Castelli di Jesi hills near the Adriatic. Verdicchio is one of Italy's oldest and most distinctive indigenous whites — intensely mineral, bitter-almond finishing, and built for aging. The amphora-shaped bottle was a 1950s marketing gimmick that became iconic, but the wine inside is genuinely great: one of Italy's most age-worthy and food-versatile whites.
