DOC area (also Falerio) for white wine in the Italian region of Marche. The zone covers the two provinces of Ascoli Piceno and Fermo, with the exception of the valley bottoms and sites above 700 metres above sea level. Falerio is blended from Trebbiano Toscano (20-50%), Passerina (10-30%), as well as other permitted varieties (max. 20%). The pure Falerio Pecorino must contain at least 85% Pecorino, up to 15% other authorised varieties can be used.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
