List of grape varieties

Verdicchio bianco is a white wine variety from central Italy . The grape variety probably comes from the Trebbiano - Greco family and has been known in Italy since the time of the Etruscans . The planted area amounts to approx. 4000  hectares . Plantings are known in the Marche , Umbria and Abruzzo regions and on the island of Sardinia . It is recommended to grow in the provinces of Ancona , Ascoli Piceno , Pesaro , Macerata , Perugia , Terni , Rome , Viterbo and L'Aquila . Cultivation is also permitted in the provinces of Pistoia , Rieti , Pescara , Teramo , Cagliari , Nuoro , Oristano and Sassari . Grown in one variety, it results in wines with a strong scent of peach and apple, sometimes also unripe fruit.

Since the 14th century, a white wine of the same name in the DOC regions Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Verdicchio di Matelica has been made almost exclusively from this grape variety in the Marche region . In the areas of Esino , Colli Maceratesi , Falerio dei Colli Ascolani and Lacrima di Morro d'Alba , a white wine with at least 50% Verdicchio is also produced.

Due to its high natural total acidity , Verdicchio was one of the first sparkling wines in Italy.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is very hairy with white wool, with a slight pink tinge. The young leaves are slightly woolly and hairy and yellowish-green in color.
  • The leaves are three- to five-lobed and deeply indented. The stem bay is lyren-shaped open. The edge of the leaf is serrated. The teeth are set closely in comparison to the grape varieties.
  • The cylindrical grape is medium to large in size, shouldered and dense berries. The rounded berries are medium to large in size.

The grape variety ripens about 30 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen late. The variety is vigorous, but has a poor and uneven yield. The variety is prone to raw rot due to its density of berries .
