Umbria At a Glance

Region Name Umbria

Bordering on Tuscany and right above Rome is the lesser-known and lesser-traveled region of Umbria.  Without access to either the sea or international borders, it is affectionately referred to as the “green heart of Italy.”

  • Score: 92 Vintage 2022 Wine Enthusiast The moment the wine is poured, there is a change in the energy of the room. The pale straw color reflects the wine just so as the aromas envelope the senses with notes of pressed white flowers, orange peel that has just been singed over a drink, and wet river stones. The lively palate is crunchy with a plucky acidity that keeps the mouth watering and wanting more. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 89 Vintage 2022 Wine Spectator A creamy white backed by bright, lip-smacking acidity, this shows notes of lychee and guava, with grapefruit granita, white blossom and saline accents. Grechetto, Procanico, Malvasia, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now. 20,000 cases made, 1,800 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 89 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Orvieto Superiore is remarkably pretty, with honeyed florals, gingery spice and crushed yellow apples forming its bouquet. This is silky-smooth and supple, pleasing with its ripe orchard fruit and saline-mineral tones. Tropical florals and a pleasant inner sweetness linger, as the 2021 finishes fresh, medium in length and classically dry. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 87 Vintage 2020 Vinous Media Sweet melon and yellow apple waft up from the 2020 Orvieto, enriched by a hint of mulling spice. This is soft and fleshy in feel, balanced by bright acidity and mineral-tinged orchard fruits. Hints of green citrus linger, along with a salty flourish, as the 2020 finishes with medium length. This is a blend of Grechetto, Procanico, Malvasia, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2018 Wine Spectator Clean-cut acidity defines this lightly fleshy, light- to medium-bodied white, which laces ripe Asian pear and melon fruit flavors with hints of elderflower, spice and pink grapefruit pith, creating a pleasingly bitter chime on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 1,250 cases made, 50 cases imported. –AN Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 88 Vintage 2018 Wine Spectator This zesty, light-bodied white offers layers of ground white pepper, pink grapefruit zest and fresh tarragon notes, with flavors of nectarine, star fruit and stony mineral. A bright and lively lip-smacker. Trebbiano Toscano, Grechetto, Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2021. 1,666 cases made, 900 cases imported. –AN Shelf Talker Full Page Review
