Offida
Wine · PDO · 25 municipalities
Recognized since 2011, the Offida DOCG distinguishes itself from neighboring Marche denominations by enforcing highly specific rules across three distinct typologies rather than a single signature wine. For its red, Offida Rosso requires at least 85% Montepulciano and a strict 24-month aging regime—including 12 months in wood and 3 in bottle. Meanwhile, the white Offida Pecorino must achieve at least 12.0% alcohol from yields restricted to 9.0 tons per hectare, resulting in its characteristic straw-yellow color with greenish reflections. Today, 56 verified producers across 25 municipalities, including Acquaviva Picena, bottle these precise styles under the Consorzio tutela vini Piceni.
