Terroir
Natural factors
- Production of Falerio is permitted throughout the province of Ascoli Piceno and in a small part of the province of Fermo, excluding vineyards cultivated above 700 metres above sea level. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- The name of the appellation derives from the ancient city of Faleria, later Falerio Picenus, corresponding to the present-day comune of Falerone, and from the overlying Mons Falarinus.
Human factors
- Evidence of wines produced in this area dates back to 1596, the year in which Andrea Bacci's treatise on Italian wines records details of vineyards in the zone. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
Product characteristics
- Falerio presents a more or less pale straw-yellow colour, a lightly aromatic nose, and a dry, sapid, harmonious, and gently acidic palate. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- In the glass the wine appears a pale straw-yellow with greenish highlights and an almost crystalline clarity, with aromas recalling unripe green apple and meadow flowers. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
