Areas of cultivation It is widespread especially in the Marche, namely in the Esino valley, and marginally in Umbria.
History In the Marches there is a time immemorial, and probably in its most important land, the one referring to the area of ​​Jesi, the vine was raised already in the 7th century BC. This hypothesis would be suggested by the name, which should derive from the viridic and viridis Latin to indicate the beautiful green veins of the wines produced by this vine. It is very similar to the Trebbiano of Soave and the Trebbiano of Lugana, so much so that it is also indicated with these synonyms and probably they can observe coincidence characteristics. In recent years, the DNA test has confirmed these equality and this opens the door to another hypothesis about its origin. It seems that in 1400 due to a pestilent epidemic in the countryside of the present province of Verona, there was the displacement of many Venetian peasants to the Jesi area, with the import of some cuttings of vines now traceable such as Trebbiano Cultivated in the Soave and Lugana areas. Time would then modify and adapt these screws giving it the current characteristics, albeit similar to its alleged ancestors. Traces of this vine are also found in the Trebbiano Verde used in Lazio around Rome, in the Castelli Romani area, probably due to the close connection that for centuries has seen the Marche and the people joined in the Pontifical State and in many links of noble blood. The crisis of the phylloxera of the eighteenth century however confined the Verdicchio almost exclusively to the Marches and to some areas of Sardinia, and the extensive cultivations that characterized the center of Italy were considerably reduced, although still an important reality.
