Colli Maceratesi
Wine · PDO · 56 municipalities
Established in 1982 within Italy's Marche region, the Colli Maceratesi DOC distinguishes itself through a strict focus on the Maceratino grape, locally known as Ribona, which must comprise at least 70% of the standard white blend. While neighboring areas champion Verdicchio, this appellation, spanning 56 municipalities including Camerino, leverages Ribona's distinct local profile. The denomination's unique sparkling regulations set it apart: while the basic spumante requires three months on lees, the prestigious Ribona Spumante Riserva demands bottle-refermentation with at least 36 months of total elaboration, yielding dry, harmonious wines with a delicate, pale straw-yellow color.
