Marche is situated along Italy’s eastern coast, bordering the Adriatic Sea. The coastal areas benefit from maritime influences, including cooling sea breezes that moderate temperatures and create favorable conditions for viticulture.

The western part of Marche is characterized by the Appennine mountain range, which runs along the region’s border with Umbria and Tuscany. The mountainous terrain provides diverse altitudes and microclimates, influencing grape growing and wine styles.

Several rivers flow through Marche, including the Metauro, Esino, and Tronto rivers. These waterways not only sustain the region’s agriculture but also shape the landscape and provide irrigation for vineyards.
