Esino
Wine · PDO · 53 municipalities
Established in 2004 across 53 municipalities in the Marche region, including Agugliano and Ancona, the Esino DOC acts as a flexible appellation overlapping several historic territories. Growers with vineyards registered for prestigious nearby denominations like Rosso Conero or Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi can opt in annually to produce under this name. While Esino Bianco requires a minimum of 50% Verdicchio, the rules set this denomination apart from its neighbors by strictly banning Marche’s classic, iconic anfora-shaped bottles. Furthermore, the production code prohibits qualifiers like "superiore" and "riserva," preventing producers from marketing aged reserves under the Esino banner.
