Umbria: The Green Heart of Italian Winemaking
Rich in history and natural beauty, Umbria is a region where winemaking traditions are as old as the rolling hills themselves. Known as the “green heart of Italy,” Umbria’s diverse terroir produces wines of remarkable character. The region’s star is Sagrantino, an indigenous grape celebrated for its bold tannins and aging potential, particularly in Montefalco Sagrantino wines. Trebbiano Spoletino and Grechetto dominate white wine production, delivering crisp, mineral-driven expressions that reflect the land’s purity. Umbria’s wines are a reflection of its heritage, blending innovation with respect for tradition.
