Sagrivit umbria for sale online

Umbria is one of the Italian regions, which in recent years has succeeded in gaining a prominent place in the Italian wine scene, especially with regard to the production of red wines. Vine cultivation in Umbria has ancient origins: it was the Etruscans who introduced various plantations, while the Romans favoured its development by exporting the wines produced throughout the empire. Umbrian vineyards are divided equally between white and black grapes. In particular, the most cultivated black grapes are Sagrantino, Merlot, Sangiovese, Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon and Montepulciano. While among the white grape varieties, the main ones are: grechetto, trebbiano toscano, chardonnay, malvasia bianca and riesling. Umbria can boast 2 Denominazioni di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) and 13 Denominazioni di Origine Controllata (DOC). It is above all in the province of Perugia that the 2 most important Umbrian red DOCG wines, Montefalco Sagrantino and Torgiano Rosso Riserva, are produced, while the oldest wine growing area is undoubtedly Orvieto with its DOC Orvieto. xtraWine offers you only the best Umbrian wines that have received important awards from Bibenda, Veronelli and AIS.

Umbrian Territory and Wine: A Harmonious Symphony of Nature and Culture

A Unique Geography

Umbria, the green heart of Italy, stands as a treasure trove of food and wine treasures. Located in the centre of the peninsula, this hilly land embraces the Apennine ridge and offers optimal exposure. Here, nature and agriculture come together in an unspoilt landscape, enriched by olive trees, arable land and forests. The vineyard, a key element, contributes to preserving the natural charm of this region, where biodiversity constitutes a precious aura. The continental climate, between hot summers and cold winters, gives the grapes a gradual ripening process, making the wines a sensory work of art. The soils vary from volcanic tuffs to calcareous-clay soils, embracing varieties such as Grechetto, Trebbiano Spoletino, Sagrantino, Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo. Umbria, with several prestigious wine-growing areas, shines in excellence, thanks also to the efforts of the renowned Lungarotti winery.

The Charm of White Wines

Umbria, home of Sagrantino, also hides a lively wine tradition centred on white wines. The Orvieto area, among the historical protagonists, shines with the indigenous Grechetto grape variety. The Grechetto di Todi and the Grechetto di Orvieto blend in a symphony of floral and fruity aromas, giving elegance and freshness. Trebbiano Spoletino, flourishing thanks to the dedication of small producers, renews itself, revealing citrus aromas and pleasant acidity. In addition to these, Procanico, Malvasia and the international Chardonnay and Viognier stand out.

The Rare Reds

Sagrantino di Montefalco, Umbria's red gem, originates in the hills of Montefalco and Bevagna. This mysterious vine, after a recent rediscovery, gives structured and complex wines, testifying to the combination of clay soil and favourable climate. Fascinating for daring palates, it is ideal with braised meats and game. Sangiovese, accomplice to Sagrantino, gives life to Rosso di Montefalco, a readily accessible wine. Among the other protagonists, Canaiolo and Colorino intertwine with Sangiovese, while Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon add international notes. An applause to the Ciliegiolo, king of Narni, for its fruity and fragrant profile.

Information about Umbria

Region	Umbria
Country	Italy
Morphology of the land	Plain: 0% Hill: 71% Mountain: 29%
Climate and soil	The Region being closed up by the mountain ranges does not benefit from the influence of the sea. The climate is continental with cold winters and hot summers. Precipitation is abundant especially near the Apennine chains. Often in the hollows and in the smaller flat stretches, in summer there is no wind and the air is sultry. In general, Umbria enjoys an excellent climate due to the rich vegetation. Umbria is the only Italian region entirely inter-linked. It is predominantly hilly, even the most hilly in Italy.
History	Originally in this region lived two ancient Italic peoples: the Umbrians and the Etruscans. At the Roman age of Emperor Augustus, who determined the boundaries, this region extended to the Adriatic coast of the Marches and to the west left the area of Lake Trasimeno to Etruria. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Region was divided between the Lombards and the Byzantines. Over time these areas were always divided into many small states, among which the Lordships of the Monferrato and the Malatesta became very powerful.
Typical products	Orvieto DOC, perhaps the best known of the wines of Umbria, is a fresh and clean white with a pleasant note of minerals and fresh almonds. Traditionally, it also exists in two other versions: sweetish or lovable, but now it is produced almost exclusively in the dry version. The vines used are Trebbiano, Verdello, Grechetto, Malvasia and others that grow on the hills around the beautiful city of Orvieto. Montefalco Sagrantino is a hot red wine, full, rich and spicy, produced exclusively with Sagrantino grapes, both in the dry version and in the amiable one. In 1992 he was entitled to the DOCG designation.
Typical dishes	One of the products of excellence is extra virgin olive oil, a product of excellent quality, especially the DOP Umbria, which must include the sub-areas of the Colline del Trasimeno, Colli Assisi-Spoleto, Colli Martani, Colli Orvietani and Colli Armerini. Other products of this territory derive from the breeding and slaughtering of pigs, with Norcia the capital of the production of hams, cups, suppressed, sausages and all kinds of sausages. Truffles are also highly prized, collected in Valnerina, in Norcia and near Spoleto, in addition to the white ones of the upper Tiberina valley. Among the desserts there is the rock of Assisi, the cake of Orvieto similar to the panettone, with candied fruit, eggs and raisins, the attorta, that is a twisted cake of puff pastry with toasted almonds and minced. Perugia is the city of chocolate.
