Marche

Marche is the eastern-most region of Italy's central belt, stretching from Tuscany all the way to Umbria and the Adriatic coast. Its topography is defined by coastal plains rising inland to rolling hills synonymous with the Italian landscape and culminating in the central spine of the Appenines. Outstanding red wines are made from the famous Montepulciano variety, while white wines are typically produced from local, native varieties such as Verdicchio or Trebbiano.
