Travel – Paolo Bea – Umbria

Umbria: The Soul of Montefalco’s Timeless Wines

Known as the “green heart of Italy,” Umbria boasts a winemaking tradition steeped in history and authenticity. At the center of this region lies Montefalco, a land celebrated for its bold and structured wines. The jewel of Montefalco is Sagrantino, an ancient indigenous grape revered for producing deeply complex wines with exceptional aging potential. Alongside Sagrantino, the region cultivates Sangiovese and Grechetto, resulting in wines that balance intensity and finesse. Montefalco’s wines reflect the harmony of its rolling hills, calcareous soils, and temperate climate, making it a haven for wine enthusiasts seeking depth and character.
