Offida DOCG comprises Pecorino, Passerina, and red wines with distinct grape rules.
Pecorino, Passerina and Montepulciano give Offida different wine expressions.
Offida’s two named whites center on Pecorino and Passerina, while Montepulciano is the principal grape of the red. Their shared territory runs from the Adriatic coastal area into higher hills of the southern Marche. Deep soils with sandy, clay-rich and conglomerate formations support the vines. The denomination brings these different grapes into one regional landscape.
Offida Pecorino requires at least 85% Pecorino; Offida Passerina at least 85% Passerina. The red style requires at least 85% Montepulciano. Those percentages describe each style’s main grape, not a blend containing all three.
The grape zones lie in delimited territories of Ascoli Piceno and Fermo provinces. The specification sets the boundaries by wine type.
