New horizons
Villa Bucci takes Verdicchio to new heights, thanks to the visionary entrepreneur Ampelio Bucci, whose use of this age-old grape variety from the Marche region has reaped impressive success in the wine world.
In 2024, the Veronesi family officially purchased the winery, one of the oldest and most illustrious in the Italian and worldwide wine sector. Ostra Vetere, just a few kilometres from the sea, is a place that offers a compromise with nature and time, with maximum respect for both.
The Jesi castles area is characterised by a series of naturals amphitheatres looking out onto the sea amid gently rolling hills. The area offers the ideal conditions for the growth of the age-old white grape variety Verdicchio. Villa Bucci is a pillar of the history of these highly versatile wine-making grapes that grow on the inland hills of the province of Ancona and are perfectly representative of the viticulture of the Marche region: rich, austere and long-lived, and thus particularly ageworthy.
Villa Bucci has also made a significant contribution to the development of Verdicchio, helping to make a grape variety native to a virtually unknown area a white wine icon in Italy and indeed worldwide. Also grown here are Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes, used in the making of Rosso Piceno DOC wines.
