Biancame is a distinctive white grape variety predominantly grown in Italy's Marche region, particularly in the provinces of Pesaro e Urbino and Ancona. Known for producing elegant and refreshing wines, Biancame typically exhibits a bright aromatic profile featuring delicate notes of white flowers, citrus blossom, green apple, and subtle hints of almond. On the palate, Biancame wines are fresh and lively, with a medium body, crisp acidity, and a lingering mineral finish. The grape's moderate aromatic intensity and nuanced flavour make it ideal for producing still white wines that are both approachable and refined.
Most commonly vinified as a single-varietal wine or blended within DOCs such as Colli Pesaresi and Bianchello del Metauro, Biancame wines are usually made in a dry style, focusing on purity and vibrancy. These wines excel in showcasing local terroir, with stainless steel fermentation commonly used to preserve freshness.
Biancame pairs exceptionally well with light Mediterranean cuisine. Its crisp acidity and subtle fruit notes complement seafood, shellfish, and delicate pasta dishes, while its mineral edge enhances fresh cheeses and grilled vegetables. For an authentic match, serve with fritto misto or brodetto di pesce from the Marche region.
