Iesi (Jesi in Italian): The City of a Holy Emperor and Divine Wine

Iesi (Jesi in Italian): The City of a Holy Emperor and Divine Wine | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

The old centre of Iesi is surrounded by fortified walls that were build in the 14th century to replace the Roman ones.  The famous white wine in this area is, of course, the fantastic Verdecchio dei Castelli di Jesi. The best place to taste the local wines is the Regional wine cellar (Enoteca Regionale di Jesi) situated in the Baroque palace of Balleani.  The legend has it that Frederick II, the most powerful Holy Roman Emperor of the Middle Ages, was born in the public square, now named after him.

Le Marche Legend of Calcio: Roberto Mancini

Le Marche Legend of Calcio: Roberto Mancini | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Roberto Mancini was born 27th November 1964 in the town of Jesi, of the Province of Ancona, in Le Marche Region.
This small town in central Italy was the place which saw Roberto first fall in love with the beautiful game.
As a boy, his only two interests were football and religion. He was a committed Roman Catholic, and as such honoured his faith by being an altar boy at his local place ofworship, the church of San Sebastian.
His football club Aurora Calcio was next door, and a young Roberto Mancini was often found training or playing games there during the early seventies.
His two passions once famously clashed when Roberto left midway through his First Holy Communion to join his teammates for their Sunday fixture. The initial reaction of his family was dismay, until the priest conducting affairs informed them it was he who instructed the young Mancini to get his boots, as his team was 2-0 down.
These were the humble beginnings of a man who would go on to make over 500 appearances in Serie A, inspiring Sampdoria to domestic and European glory, something they hadn't achieved before, and haven't since.
Bologna were the first to see Mancini's talent and signed him at the age offourteen. He was handed his debut at the age of sixteen in September of 1981. Mancini scored nine goals in thirty-one appearances for the Rossobù), although his first season proved to be his last.
Sampdoria saw something special in the young forward and brought him to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the summer of1982. Little did they knowjust what great success he would bring with him....

Le Marche Wine Excellence: Marotti Campi Morro d'Alba

Le Marche Wine Excellence: Marotti Campi Morro d'Alba | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Morro D’Alba is a medieval village situated between the towns of Jesi and Senigallia. Here, on gently rolling hills framed by both the Appenine Mountains and the Adriatic sea, lies Sant’Amico, a settlement which dates back to Roman Times.
The winery Marotti Campi was built in 1999 and is represented by Giovanni and Francesca with their son Lorenzo and they are proud to vinify exclusively their grapes. The capacity is 6000 and they use pneumatic press where the hand-picked grapes are softly crushed. For the white wines they use reductive techniques to preserve the vibrant, fresh varietal grape character, we use dry ice during the harvest and azote in the winery to lower the grapes temperature and lessen the oxidation of the flavours. Marotti Campi stores the bottles in a temperature controlled environment at 10-18°C providing optimal ageing conditions. In 2010 we have installed solar panels achieving energy self-sufficiency
The estate totals 120 hectares, of which 52 are vineyards that lie on hillsides at approximately 180 meters above the sea level. The soil is mixed predominantly clay...

The public square in Jesi where a king was born

The public square in Jesi where a king was born | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

The Holy Roman Emperor Federico II, who became King of Sicily and one of the most powerful men in Europe in the Middle Ages, was born on a public square in Jesi in the province of Ancona.
People sleep late on Sundays in Jesi. The public squares are virtually deserted apart from a man sitting on a bench with his laptop and stone lions spewing water around the fountain. There is not a lot to see. Which may explain why an inscription in the pavement catches my attention. It says: ‘In questa piazza nasce il 26 dic. 1194 L’imepratore Federico II di Svevia’ followed by a full stop tent. [...]

Dreaming place for all tea lovers in Le Marche: Cose di Tè, Jesi

Dreaming place for all tea lovers in Le Marche: Cose di Tè, Jesi | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it
Tea tasting is an incredibly fascinating experience, but still not very popular. Actually in our culture the taste and smell are little stimulated and consequently not very much developed.
Therefore, to appreciate the sweetness of a Chinese green Tea or compare Darjeelings flushed in different periods seems to be a very difficult exercise. But as soon as you start practicing tasting and “feeling” the Tea, progress is often very quick and unexpected. Then the pleasure of a good cup of Tea is beyond compare!
That’s why Cose di Tè has created an aTèlier, a place to discover and develop the “sense for Tea”.
Tea is an open door on the passions and culture worldwide. Cose di Tè then is the right place to meet Tea lovers and discover the art of Tea through the tradition of the countries in which it’s still a ritual.

Verdicchio: the wine identity of Le Marche

Verdicchio: the wine identity of Le Marche | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

When we use to talk about Ancona and its Province, it comes immediately up to our mind identifying with them one of the most famous products: the “Verdicchio”. It is a vine exclusively cultivated in Marche Region, with white berry and suitable for the production of fresh wines with a remarkable longevity; it can be used also for as classic as Charmat method sparkling white wines. The name Verdicchio comes for sure from its greenish coloured grape, also after its maturation. It seems that its origins go even back to the XVI century. The Verdicchio had a great characterization thanks to the architect Maiocchi. In fact, over ’50 years period the architect drew an amphor shaped bottle in order to enhance the wine quality and the sinuosity of Marche Region landscape morphology. The colour of Verdicchio is straw-yellow, and, accordingly to its maturation, it can vary on shades that go from greenish to golden. The alcoholic gradation goes from 11.5° to 12.5°C. It is important to store it at about 10°/12° C; when you serve it as aperitif, please keep the bottle at 8°/10° C...
