Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi - Weinberge bei Montecarotto

In 1950, the leading winery Fazi-Battaglia introduced the significant green amphora with the scroll on its neck, which (along with fishing nets) became an indispensable part of the Italian restaurant inventory and made the wine famous outside Italy (today it is bottled in this form only as a tourist attraction). The green-yellow wine is made from at least 85% Verdicchio(Verdicchio Bianco), a maximum of 15% can be other approved varieties. There is also a Spumante, Passito, Classico and Classico Superiore. The Riserva version was classified as DOCG in 2010 under the new designation Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva (or Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva Classico). There is a much smaller Verdicchio DOC zone in the Marche region called Verdicchio di Matelica.

In September 2020, the regional consortium IMT (Istituto marchigiano di tutela vini) decided that the wines of the two Verdicchio appellations Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC and Verdicchio di Matelica DOC (as riserva each DOCG) will receive the state label. From a legislative point of view, their use is only prescribed for DOCG wines and is voluntary for DOC wines. The banderoles on the bottles, which are provided with alphanumeric codes, are intended to increase their traceability and efficiency in the fight against label fraud.
