Umbria

Located in the heart of Italy, the Umbria region has an ancient tradition and is renowned for its quality wines, which reflect the authentic character of the region. Landlocked, Umbria enjoys a continental climate with wide temperature variations, ideal for growing a variety of grape varieties. One of the most famous areas is Montefalco, famous for Sagrantino di Montefalco, a robust and tannic red wine made from the native grape of the same name. This wine is renowned for its intensity and aptitude for ageing, often with notes of red fruit, spices and tobacco.

Orvieto is another important wine-producing area, famous for its Orvieto DOC white wine, which is fresh, fruity and pleasantly dry, made mainly from Grechetto and Trebbiano grapes. The Colli del Trasimeno area offers a variety of wines, including reds made from Sangiovese and Gamay del Trasimeno, while the Colli Martani are famous for Grechetto, an aromatic and mineral white wine.

Despite being a small region, Umbria offers an extraordinary variety of wines, from intense reds to fresh whites, contributing significantly to the diversity and richness of the Italian wine scene.
