    Marchione, Italy
    Authentic, indigenous varietals of grapes from Italy, which represent a particular place farmed by families throughout Italy. That is Marchione. Italy is incredibly diverse from region to region, plate to plate, and from one wine to another.

    A common theme running through the Marchione line is approachability. In Italy, a glass of wine is always accompanied by food. It is not the most expensive wines that most often appear at the table but the wines that match the regional cuisine, that are ‘of the people’, and that are unpretentious and unmistakably Italian.

    To date all of the Marchione wines are made without the use of oak. The goal is to display the beautiful simplicity of the fruit of each particular wine and the region from which it comes.

    Montepulciano is the second most planted red variety in Italy after Sangiovese, though it is achieves its highest potential in the region of Abruzzo. Consistently enticing and enjoyable, Montepulciano enjoys great popularity throughout central and southern Italy as well. A tiny bit grows with success in California, Argentina and Australia. Somm Secret—Montepulciano is also the name of a village in Tuscany where, confusingly, they don’t grow the Montepulciano grape at all! Sangiovese shines in yet another Tuscan village, here making the reputable wine called Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

    A warm, Mediterranean vine-growing paradise, in Abruzzo, the distance from mountains to seaside is relatively short. The Apenniness, which run through the center of Italy, rise up on its western side while the Adriatic Sea defines its eastern border.

    Wine composition tends to two varieties: Abruzzo’s red grape, Montepulciano and its white, Trebbiano. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo can come in a quaffable, rustic and fruity style that generally drinks best young. It is also capable of making a more serious style, where oak aging tames its purely wild fruit.

    Trebbiano in Abruzzo also comes in a couple of varieties. Trebbiano Toscana makes a simple and fruity white. However when meticulously tended, the specific Trebbiano d’Abruzzo-based white wines can be complex and long-lived.

    In the region’s efforts to focus on better sites and lower yields, vine acreage has decreased in recent years while quality has increased.
