Montecappone

Marche Verdicchio and Piceno reds from central Italy's emerging region.

Montecappone produces wines from Marche, the central Italian region that has emerged as a source of distinctive white and red expressions. The winery focuses on Verdicchio, the indigenous white variety that defines the Castelli di Jesi zone. Federico II A.D. 1194 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore and Utopia Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva represent the winery's commitment to the grape's mineral precision and structure. Both have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. The winery also produces Rosso Piceno, a Sangiovese and Montepulciano blend rooted in regional tradition. Verdicchio from this area is known for its crisp acidity, stone-fruit character, and food-friendly profile, while the red blends of Piceno offer earthy depth and savory tannins. Montecappone's range reflects the terroir of Marche's hillside vineyards and the classical approach to these native varieties.
