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: 88 Vintage 2023 Wine Spectator A lively white, with peach skin texture on the palate. Delivers an appealing range of kiwifruit, nectarine, blood orange sorbet and pickled ginger flavors underscored by salty mineral, spice and floral notes. Drink now. 15,000 cases made, 150 cases imported. –AN Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 92 Vintage 2022 Wine Enthusiast 100% Grechetto, this wine shows what passion in the vines can do to a wine. Aromas of tangerine, lemon, acacia and broom lift from the glass of this dynamic wine. Textured with a wine that feels like it might taste you back! Driven by a mineral thread of crushed stones the wine ebbs and flows with flavors of almond, lemon oil, and dried apricot finishing with a crunchy acidity. — Jeff Porter Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 87 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Grechetto is a pretty yet understated expression. White flowers and nuances of peach give way to a soft and pleasantly sweet expression on the palate. It tapers off with medium length, showing hints of chamomile and mint. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 89 Vintage 2020 Vinous Media The 2020 Grechetto is spicy and fresh, offering crushed stone and hints of citrus-tinged apple. This is soft and enveloping, and also pleasantly sweet, as vibrant acidity motivates the ripe orchard fruits and inner florals found within. Hints of candied lime and minerals linger long through the mouthwatering finale. This young, fresh Grechetto is a pleasure to taste. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
