Why are “undisovered” wines the next big thing?
As a wine enthusiast, you're likely familiar with regions like Tuscany and Piedmont, but have you heard of the hidden gem that is Marche? Nestled in central Italy, Marche is a lesser-known wine region that boasts a diverse range of high-quality wines. The region's unique terroir, with its rolling hills, sea breeze, and ample sunshine, creates ideal growing conditions for grape varieties like Verdicchio, Sangiovese, and Montepulciano to name a few.

Marche's Verdicchio is one of the region's most noteworthy wines. This white wine boasts a refreshing, crisp flavor with hints of green apple, lemon, and almond. It pairs perfectly with seafood, light pasta dishes, and salads. If you're a fan of reds, Marche has plenty to offer. Sangiovese and Montepulciano are two of the most popular red grape varieties grown in the region which can be found in the upcoming 2023 collection. Sangiovese produces a medium-bodied wine with vibrant acidity and flavors of cherry, raspberry, and spice or used in a refreshing rosé expression. On the other hand, Montepulciano yields a full-bodied wine with intense aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, and tobacco.
If you're looking to try something new, give wines from Marche a chance. With their unique flavors and characteristics, they prove to be distinctive and exceptional in quality; they're sure to impress even the most discerning wine drinkers.
Furthermore, what’s interesting is that the upcoming generation of wine enthusiasts is showing a preference for unique wine styles, eco-friendly or health-conscious practices, and wines with a rich history. This could be due to their growing concern for the environment and the impact their choices have on it. We believe our wines at House of Mustaine answer that call with only organic traditional methods used at our vineyards in Marche, and sustainable practices used at our vineyards in South Coast, CA. We match the next generation’s desire to learn about the people and places behind the wines they consume, rather than just seeing them as a product. This is why we’ve dedicated hours of story-telling behind our mission, vineyards, wines, family and selected regions, for our Wine Club Members to have an opportunity to feel as connected as we do. It's an exciting opportunity that could lead to a greater appreciation for the art of winemaking and cultures from around the world.
