Umbria, located in the heart of Italy, is a wine region renowned for its picturesque landscapes and authentic wines that perfectly express the unique character of the Italian terroir. As a DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) designation, Umbria guarantees a level of quality and uniqueness, regulating both the grape varieties used and the winemaking methods. Wines from this region are distinguished by their diversity, both white and red, often showcasing indigenous grape varieties such as Sagrantino and Grechetto. Sagrantino, known for its rich tannic structure and intense aromas of dark fruits, is often crafted into robust red wines with excellent ageing potential. Grechetto, on the other hand, produces fresh and aromatic white wines, often enriched with a distinctive mineral hint. Thanks to a temperate climate with Mediterranean and continental influences, Umbria offers ideal conditions for viticulture, allowing the wines to develop admirable complexity and finesse. Whether you are a beginner in organising your wine cellar or a seasoned oenophile, the wines of Umbria promise to elevate every tasting experience with their authenticity and preserved character.
