Wine-tasting in Umbria

 

 

 

                                                         

 

 

Umbria offers a good quality of grapes, favored by the favourable climatic and soil conditions of the region.  Many excellent wines come from Umbria, like the Grechetto, wine of ancient traditions, lauded by Pliny the Elder, the Rosso of Montfalco, a purple coloured wine with a harmonious and velvety flavour, the Sagrantino Passito, of ruby red colour and delicate aroma, and the Orvieto Classico, the white wine which was already famous in Etruscan times.

Visiting the wine cellars of a  wine grower near Assisi:

 

     For years now the owner of the vineyards has been tending the earth 

    with love and respect according to the family wine- and olive 

    oil-making traditions. Synthetic chemicals, pesticides and 

    herbicides are not used at all and all the grapes are the fruit of their own vines. Skillful experimentation and innovation of the products have brought the family to such a high level of wine making that they have won various regional and national prizes over the years.

 

 

Their wines: Bianco di Assisi d.o.c., Assisi Grechetto d.o.c., Rosato di Assisi, Assisi 

                   Rosso d.o.c., Renaro, Marilu', Sacreterre, Muffa Reale, Valditufo,

Visiting a wine grower near Bevagna, the Montefalco d.o.c.g area

 

   The vineyards of this wine grower are in the hills around the towns Bevagna and Torgiano, both d.o.c.g. and d.o.c. areas. In Bevagna, at the foot of Montefalco, they have 15 ha. of vineyards and in Torgiano 50 ha situated around an old 'casolare'

 

The two d.o.c.g. master wines of the company are certainly the Sagrantino di Montefalco and the Torgiano Rosso Riserva. But the wine list contains more excellent wines like the Rosso of Montefalco d.o.c., Cabernet Sauvignon d.o.c., Novello Sangiovese d.o.c. and Torgiano Chardonnay d.o.c.

 

To the wine list can be added Spumante Brut, the dessertwines and the liquor Grappa, all product of an accurate study of wine making and the enthusiasm of the owners.
