Enhancing the value of Marche DOC and DOCG wines also begins with friendship among winegrowers. When we meet, listen to one another, and compare appellations, native grape varieties, and different soils, something special always happens: we all grow. And so does the understanding of our land.
On Sunday, November 23, 2025, with Dolomiti & Adriatico, we brought that spirit into the glass. Eleven wineries from the Consorzio dei Vignaioli delle Marche and six from Trentino came together, seventeen families who grow and vinify only their own grapes. No shortcuts, no compromises: vineyards tended personally, thoughtful agronomic choices, and wines that speak honestly of the vintage.
Two distant regions, Adriatic coast and Dolomites, united by the same vision of wine: artisanal, sincere, human. On one side, the rolling hills of the Marche and our historic appellations; on the other, altitude, dramatic temperature shifts, and the vertical elegance of Trentino wines. Not a challenge, but a conversation. Not a competition, but an exchange that enriches everyone involved. Together truly is better.
Wine, after all, is not just a collection of aromas and flavors: it is a way of telling our story and discovering one another. That is why “Che vino sei?” (“What Wine Are You?”), the emotional tasting experience created by Laura Di Pietrantonio, made its debut at Dolomiti & Adriatico. A light, engaging journey that weaves together sensations, preferences, and personal traits, inviting participants to discover their own “wine profile” and approach wine with greater curiosity and awareness.
Because recognizing yourself in a glass is often the first step toward truly understanding it.
Alongside the winegrowers, three outstanding artisans of taste, Fontegranne, Pandefrà, and Carsetti, enriched the experience with flavors designed to dialogue with the wines, creating a journey that began in the Dolomites and reached the Adriatic, guided by skilled hands, meaningful stories, and distinct identities.
The response spoke for itself: a full room, vibrant energy, smiles, and a genuine desire to listen and share. Many tastings, countless questions, authentic exchanges. The artisanal wines we love, told, tasted, and shared as they deserve.
If there is one thing events like this remind us, it is that wine does not grow only in the vineyard, it grows through relationships. And when winegrowers build connections, the territory grows stronger. Always.
