Umbria, located in the heart of Italy, is a charming wine region renowned for its historical heritage and rolling landscapes. This region holds the IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) designation, ensuring the authenticity and origin of its wines. Although often overshadowed by its illustrious neighbors, Tuscany and Lazio, Umbria is emerging as a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts. Umbrian wines stand out for their diversity, thanks to varied terroirs ranging from clay to limestone soils, and an ideal climate with both Mediterranean and continental influences. Leading grape varieties include Sagrantino, which produces deep, tannic reds, and Grechetto, known for its lively, aromatic whites. In addition to these native varieties, Umbria is well-suited for cultivating international grape varieties, offering a wide range of wines. The region's estates, often family-run, employ sustainable viticulture techniques, balancing tradition with innovation. For both novice and experienced cellar managers, Umbria offers an impressive array of wines that deserve to be discovered and kept as true oenological treasures.
