Verdicchio (/vɛərˈdiːkioʊ/, also US: /vɜːrˈ-, -kjoʊ, vɛərˈdɪkioʊ/,[1][2][3] Italian: [verˈdikkjo]) is a white Italian wine grape variety grown primarily in the Marche region of central Italy.[4] The name Verdicchio derives from verde (or "green") and refers to the slight green/yellow hue that wines made from the grape can have.[5]
Verdicchio is the principal grape behind two denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) wines produced in the provinces of Macerata and Ancona, Verdicchio di Matelica and Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. In addition to producing still wines, Verdicchio grapes are also used to make sparkling wine and straw wine.[6]
