FOOD AND WINE
Jesi, in the middle of the Esino river valley, is a land rich in food and wine. Together with its castles, Jesi is the cradle of Verdicchio wine, an excellent, very ductile white wine with a fine workmanship. From white to red with the Lacrima di Morro d'Alba recognized as a denomination of controlled origin in 1985, it has been known since ancient times. It seems to be discussed in some writings dating back to the era of ancient Rome. Legend has it that in 1167 Frederick II of Swabia could appreciate it.Typical dishes are cured meats, meat, honey, extra virgin olive oil, the famous fig lonzetta and sapa.At a purely gastronomic level we can not forget the tagliatelle and vincisgrassi, typical dishes that can be tasted in many trattorias.
