As early as the Etruscan age the production of 'anconetano' wine was widely practiced. Over the course of the centuries, the oenological production of Conero continued to evolve until it reached a high standard of quality, rewarded with Docg recognition in September of 2004. Important historical testimonials to its production were uncovered in an ancient Benedictine monastery, which tell of how they used grapes harvested at the foot of the Conero to produce a splendid Rosso. It is thought that it was actually the Benedictines who gave it its present name. The geographical reference for the production area is the Conero Mountain, which rises 572 meters to the south-east of Ancona then plunges into the Adriatic. The agricultural terrain around Ancona is especially suited to the growth of different types of grape vines, both white and red, as the climate is warm and dry, providing the conditions that guarantee that the grapes mature well and regularly.
