Umbria

Nestled in the heart of central Italy, Umbria is a landlocked region of rolling hills, medieval hilltop towns and ancient winemaking traditions. Known as Italy's green heart, the region is home to some of the country's most distinctive and underrated wines. Sagrantino di Montefalco — one of Italy's most powerful and tannic red wines — stands as Umbria's flagship, while Orvieto Classico offers elegant and refreshing whites with centuries of history. With a growing number of passionate independent producers embracing both native varieties and minimal intervention, Umbria is one of Italy's most exciting regions to discover.
