In 1950, the leading winery Fazi-Battaglia introduced the significant green amphora with the scroll on the neck, which (along with fishing nets) became an indispensable part of the Italian restaurant inventory and made the wine famous outside Italy (today it is only bottled as a tourist attraction). The green-yellow wine is made from at least 85% Verdicchio(Verdicchio Bianco), a maximum of 15% can be other approved varieties.
