This month on ItalianFWT (Italian food,
wine & travel) we venture off to the coastal region of the Le
Marche region in Italy located more central Italy on the eastern
coastline of the Adriatic Sea. Pronounced “lay mark-ay”, the Le
Marche region borders Emilia Romagna to the north, Umbria to the west
and Abruzzo to the south and barely touching the regions of Tuscany
and Lazio.

This isn't a highly sought after region
as many of the other well known regions are, but if you are like me
those are the ones that are so wonderful to seek out. The hidden
treasures they contain and the less tourists the better. You really
get a true sense of the area and the people when there is less chaos
and you are more at one with your surroundings.
The Food & Wine of Le Marche
When it comes to food and wine of Le Marche it's more of a meat based region with seafood along the coastlines. Probably not one of the most sought after cuisines, but it's special to the people of Le Marche, marchigiani, and that's all that matters. The wines are the region are offerings of both white and red with some of the top grapes including verdicchio and vernaccia for whites and sangiovese and montepulciano for reds.

The landscape of Le Marche
Geography wise Le Marche has much to offer with its coastline offering sand, sun and beaches and inland the Appenines providing more of that natural beauty and moutaineous countryside living. Best of both worlds!
