IWine raises the soul and the mind, and all worries leave the human heart.
Pindar (c. 518 – c. 439 BC)
If there is one gift from nature, which was aptly named nectar of the gods and actually defeated the army of Hasdrubal, it must be wine. Wine is synonym of courtesy, longevity, wellness and above all company: there is nothing better than tasting a glass of wine with friends under the shade of a vineyard in stunning farmhouses in the region Marche.
The Marche has a long tradition of enology: the arts of producing wine developed centuries ago and upon the gentle hills of the region Marche grow excellent and typical grape varieties, including Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Rosso Piceno. “Wine of the Picenes” is quoted in the war stories of Greek historian Polybius, as well as Alaric king of Visigoths wrote passionately about the exquisite Verdicchio. Monks during the Middle Ages committed to the land and the vineyards to keep the original taste.
Farmhouses in the region Marche and the wine-craft
Perseverance, passion and expertise are the fundamental features to be successful. Living in farmhouses in the Marche can be a unique experience, also from the point of view of the relationship with nature and its products, such as grapes that produces wine. If you do not know the procedures to take care, keep and make the vineyard produce, is always better to learn from expert farmers, who love to tell and hand over their expertise to anyone who is interested. Wine should not necessarily be a business, though it could become simply a pleasure to develop and grow at km 0, from cultivation to wine tasting.
There are several tours across the region Marche to find out more about wine and its cultivations, from guided tours of vineyards and wine cellars to specific wine lessons. Dinners in vineyards is also an excellent format to try out, and – why not – to offer if you own a farmhouse with vineyard in the region Marche.
