Maceratino

Maceratino is a white Italian wine grape variety that is grown predominantly in the Marche along the Adriatic coast of Italy. Ampelographers believe the grape may have some relation to Greco and Verdicchio, as evidence by the several overlapping synonyms, but no definitive link has been proven. For most of the 20th century, and into the 21st century, plantings of Maceratino have been declining and becoming increasingly rare.[1]

For another Italian wine grape that is also known as Maceratese, see Verdicchio. For the football club, see S.S. Maceratese 1922.
