Marche
Wine · PGI · 225 municipalities
Established in 1999, the Marche IGT encompasses 225 municipalities, stretching from northern outposts like Acqualagna to southern borders, and uniquely permits vinification in the neighboring province of Rimini. While this regional designation allows varietal labeling for 22 distinct grapes—including Sangiovese, Passerina, and Cabernet Sauvignon—it deliberately excludes the region’s two most iconic indigenous varieties, Verdicchio and Lacrima, which are restricted to specific DOC designations. This flexible appellation accommodates diverse styles from sparkling wines to passito, requiring a modest minimum alcohol content of 9.5% vol and capping yields for base styles at 21.6 tonnes per hectare.
