History

It speaks of the wine of the Picenese already before the siege by the Romans. In fact, they are the Picenese, which have given its name to the territory in which they are based. The Latin poet Polibius, in one of his stories, speaks of Hannibal that, down to Rome, stopped in the area Picena and seeing the horses of his army in distress, let them heal with clutches of aged red wine.
