The Umbria appellation is a hidden gem in the heart of Italy, recognised as a Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC). Nestled between Tuscany and Marche, this region enjoys a varied climate, ranging from lush hills to fertile plains. This unique terroir imparts a distinctive aromatic richness and beautiful complexity to Umbria's wines. The signature grape varieties of Umbria include Sangiovese, Grechetto, and Trebbiano, offering a range of styles from robust reds to fresh and floral whites. Umbria has built a solid reputation for its white wines, notably Orvieto, appreciated for its lightness and aromas of white-fleshed fruits. Local producers blend traditional methods with modern techniques to create high-quality wines that reflect the authentic character of this historic region. For cellar curators, Umbria's wines present an opportunity to explore lesser-known but equally captivating authentic Italian flavours. Whether you are a novice or an experienced cellar manager, discovering Umbria's wines will undoubtedly enrich your wine collection.
