Falerio
Wine · PDO · 73 municipalities
Cultivated across 73 municipalities in the provinces of Ascoli Piceno and Fermo, including Acquasanta Terme, the Falerio DOC is defined by strict altitude and topographic limits, specifically excluding humid valley floors and lands above 700 meters. What distinguishes this Marche blend is its mandatory varietal composition, demanding a minimum of 20% Trebbiano toscano alongside at least 10% each of local Passerina and Pecorino. Producing a dry, sapid wine with a minimum alcohol content of 11.5% vol, vintners must adhere to a maximum yield of 13.0 tons per hectare and are strictly prohibited from using quality qualifiers like 'riserva' or 'selezionato'.
