| Histoire |
Biancame owes its name to the rather scarred color of its grapes. The origins of Biancame date back to a few centuries BC, but the spread of the vine began in the 500 BC. Tacitus even supposes that the wines produced with Bianchello (Biancame) have been the main cause of the defeat of Ausdrubale brought by the Romans in the famous Metauro war, with the Carthaginian warriors in drunkenness. The beginning of his valorization of Biancame dates back to 1969, when he gave birth to the denomination Bianchello del Metauro DOC. |
