Marche IGT is a white wine that is recognized for its light, crisp, and refreshing character. It has a pale yellow color that can sometimes have greenish reflections. The aroma is fruity with hints of apple, peach, and floral undertones. On the palate, it is typically dry with a balanced acidity, offering a clean, bright finish. The wine is light-bodied, making it a great complement to a variety of dishes.

History

The history of Marche IGT dates back to ancient times, with the Romans being the first to cultivate vineyards in the region. The IGT classification, however, was introduced more recently, in the 1990s, as part of Italy’s wine law reform. This was done to provide a designation for wines that didn’t fit into the traditional DOC and DOCG categories, but were still of high quality. The Marche IGT designation allows for a wide variety of wine styles, reflecting the diverse terroir and winemaking traditions of the region.

Geographical Production Area

The Marche IGT wine is produced in the Marche region, which is located in central Italy, along the Adriatic coast. The region is characterized by its hilly terrain and a temperate climate, with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The soil is predominantly clay and limestone, which is ideal for growing high-quality white wine grapes. The maritime influence from the Adriatic Sea also contributes to the unique character of the Marche IGT wines.
