Welcome back! Today we are longing for the sun drenched Adriatic Coast as we dream of rolling out our beach towels, kicking off our flip flops and taking in the Italian Seaside. What did you bring to the beach with you? A cold bottle of Verdicchio Castelli de Jesi? Perfect.  (I haven't been on vacation in so long!)  Le Marche may not be home to any of the rockstars of Italian wine like Chianti or Barolo but is is absolutely worth a closer look.  The producers I mention this episode are:  Fazi Battaglia:  https://fazibattaglia.com/en/company Villa Bucci:  https://www.decanter.com/wine-reviews/italy/marche/bucci-villa-bucci-riserva-verdicchio-dei-castelli-di-jesi-153 Monacesca:  https://www.monacesca.it/ Ciù Ciù:  http://www.ciuciuvini.it/en/ And the books I used as reference for this episode:  The Oxford Companion to Wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson  Native Wine Grapes of Italy by Ian D'Agata  Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz If you spot something that needs correcting or you would like to request an episode you can reach out at [email protected] or check out the House Wine Instagram @housewinepodcast  This podcast is 100% independent, it is written, narrated and produced by myself, Rachael so if you heard something you liked then scroll down and leave a comment or review, that is the best way that you can support the show.  Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious!  Music Credit: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
