Umbria, a central region of Italy, is a land of picturesque hills and lush valleys, providing an ideal setting for viticulture. As a Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC), the wines from this region reflect a rich geological diversity that shines through in every bottle. Known for both its white and red wines, Umbria produces wines from both indigenous and international grape varieties. Trebbiano and Grechetto are two emblematic grapes for white wines, offering floral aromas and fruity notes while maintaining a fresh acidity. The red wines, often made from Sangiovese or Sagrantino, are distinguished by their robust structure, pronounced tannins, and flavors of red fruits and spices. Umbria's continental climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, promotes the optimal ripening of grapes, contributing to the wines' aromatic complexity. The prestigious vineyards of Montefalco and Orvieto are examples of the region's diverse viticulture. For wine cellar managers, these Umbrian crus offer an enticing and distinctive addition, ideal for enriching a collection with authentic Italian character.
