Maceratino
Maceratino is most likely part of the ancient group of Greek vines, imported into Italy by the first settlers of Magna Graecia. It is grown mainly in the Marche Region, particularly in the Maceratese area, hence the name, and in the neighboring areas of Ancona and Ascoli Piceno, where it contributes as a fundamental cultivar in the production of Bianco Piceno and Bianco dei Colli Maceratesi DOC wines.
