Founded in 1850, Antica Sant’Amico Winery in Morro d’Alba (Ancona), family-run, is one of the oldest wineries in the Marche region. For over 150 years, it has proudly offered high-quality wines, all vinified in its own cellar, where the ideal temperature is maintained entirely naturally.

The production focuses mainly on the native Lacrima di Morro d’Alba DOC, vinified in pure form. The winery was already bottling it in 1971, even before it was officially recognized as DOC in 1985, along with the fragrant white Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC.

The proximity to the Adriatic Sea benefits the vineyards of Sant’Amico, creating a particular climate that is very favorable for grape cultivation. Additionally, at the center of the estate’s 45 hectares of vineyards lies the 12-hectare Sant’Amico historic park, which plays a crucial role in generating optimal microclimatic conditions (ideal humidity, etc.). This unique microclimate allows the grapes to achieve a perfect balance between freshness and body.

The cultivation techniques at Sant’Amico are particularly meticulous: low yields enhance the structure of the wines; the use of mechanical under-row tillage reduces the need for chemical products, improving quality; and harvesting grapes at peak ripeness produces wines that fully express the organoleptic potential of the estate’s vineyards.

The winery is also renowned for hosting events in the cellar and in the park at the center of the vineyards—events highly appreciated by visitors, who come to taste Lacrima di Morro d’Alba and Verdicchio Sant’Amico.
