Food and Wine: Situated in central Italy, Le Marche represents the meeting point between the culinary traditions of northern and southern Italy. It has a vast variety of local foods - from the strong flavours that dominate the food in the mountainous areas, such truffles, mushrooms, salami & tasty 'porchetta', to the more subtle flavours of the coastal cuisine - such as 'brodetto del mare'. Large and juicy olives are another feature of Le Marche's gastronomic tradition. The famous Italian 'gelato' is also something to be enjoyed! The cultivation of vines in Le Marche can be traced back to Roman times and viticulture in the regions thrives to this day with 24,000 hectares under vine, a third of which is doc. The most famous DOC wine of the region is Verdicchio, a white wine produced in Jesi and Matellica (30mins away). Excellent reds are Rosso Conero, Rosso Piceno and Lacrima del Morro d'Alba. Good sparkling wines and spirits are also produced in the region.
