Mergo

Mergo, a small Marche municipality of fewer than a thousand inhabitants, is a testament to focused viticulture. Here, the unique terroir cultivates grapes essential for Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Riserva DOCG, a highly regarded white wine. This area also contributes to the renowned Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC. Its specific microclimate and soil conditions within the Ancona province contribute to the distinct character of these wines. In total, Mergo is covered by an impressive 12 protected denominations, confirming its pivotal role in regional culinary identity beyond wine, including Esino DOC.
