The presence and influence of the Malacari family in the Offagna region dates back to the 15th century. In 1668, the beautiful Villa Malacari was built in Offagna. The vast agricultural estate, once about 1000 hectares, spreads southward to Osimo and northward to Gallignano including farmlands in the current territories of Offagna, Osimo, Ancona, Polverigi and Filottrano.
Today the estate is under the management of Alessandro Starrabba Malacari and it is a wine growing business specialised in grape cultivation and DOC and DOCG wine production. Of the 44 hectares of the estate, all located in the Offagna territory, 19 are planted with Montepulciano varietals and Conero Riserva DOCG and Rosso Conero DOC wines are produced. The vineyards are all on the Grigiano hill. In 1971 nine of the 19 hectares were planted with the remaining 10 hectares being planted between 2001 and 2006.
