Piceno and Offida
The southern Marche around Ascoli Piceno, where Montepulciano and Sangiovese build the region's broad-shouldered reds and Pecorino is reborn as a serious white.
Azienda Vitivinicola Velenosi
Velenosi Vini sits at the southern edge of the Marche, in the city of Ascoli Piceno. The coast is twenty kilometres away. Angela and Ercole Velenosi founded the cellar in 1984. They built it into one of the region's largest serious producers. It works five estates in the Tronto valley, plus a vineyard at Ancarano on the Abruzzo border. The reference wine is Roggio del Filare, a Rosso Piceno Superiore DOC of 70 percent Montepulciano and 30 percent Sangiovese.

About Azienda Vitivinicola Velenosi
Angela and Ercole Velenosi began bottling in 1984, from a single cellar in Ascoli Piceno. The company seat is still the same address: Via dei Biancospini 11, in the old city between the Sibillini mountains and the sea. Paolo Garbini, a doctor, joined as a partner in 2005, when the business became Velenosi Srl. Production now runs to about two and a half million bottles a year. The wines sell through eighty-five Italian agencies and reach fifty-two countries.
Five Marche properties feed the cellar. The home base is Ascoli Piceno, with vineyards at Castorano, Monsampolo del Tronto and Castel di Lama in the Piceno hills. A northern outpost at San Marcello sits in the Castelli di Jesi. Across the Abruzzo border, a vineyard at Ancarano in Teramo province supplies the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo line. The Tronto valley soils are old sea beds of clay and marl, loosened by sand, silt and stones. The Adriatic sits close enough to keep the summer air moving.
The wines carry a tight set of local names. Rosso Piceno Superiore DOC and Offida DOCG cover the reds. Offida DOCG Pecorino and Passerina cover the whites, and San Marcello fruit goes into Lacrima di Morro d'Alba DOC. Roggio del Filare, the flagship, blends 70 percent Montepulciano with 30 percent Sangiovese, ages in French oak, and is built to keep. Ludi, an Offida DOCG Rosso of Montepulciano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, stands beside it in a more modern cut.
The white range leans on Pecorino, the native Marche grape that has carried the region's name for the past twenty years. Villa Angela and the organic Bio Pecorino, both Offida DOCG and both pure Pecorino, set the house style: lemon, grapefruit and almond, held tight by cool Adriatic acidity. A Brut Metodo Classico of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero rounds out the list, with Verso Sera from Lacrima di Morro d'Alba and a small set of Abruzzo whites and reds.
The cellar holds Equalitas certification, a standard for sustainable winemaking, and IFS Food certification for its production line. The Bio Pecorino vineyards follow EU organic rules. The Ascoli Piceno headquarters pours daily tastings by reservation. The Classica flight costs twenty euros. The Top flight, thirty euros, covers Roggio del Filare, Ludi and the Brut. Both come with Ascolana olives, local cured meats and cheeses, and bread dressed in the estate's own oil.
