UMBRIA

Everchanging, untouched landscapes in the green of winding valleys make Umbria a region that will never fail to amaze. This region comprises mainly hills, mountains, hollows and plains and extends along the Tiber’s central basin.
At the heart of the boot, it is the only region with no coastline.

It includes Lake Trasimeno, central Italy’s largest lake. The area still has the remains of Etruscan settlements, particularly around Castiglione del Lago, where the loveliness of the natural landscape combines with the romanticism and stillness of the lake.

Moving on from the two lakes, we come to the Cascate delle Marmore waterfalls near Terni, some of the most beautiful in Europe.

The waters dive into the River Nera with a spectacular 165 m (541 ft) drop, and are surrounded by lush vegetation. This is the spot for sports lovers who enjoy canoeing, kayaking, and not only.

Still in the province of Terni, tourists looking to get the feel of Umbria should not miss out on two little gems: one of them is linked to history and the other to the territory. Carsulae is an ancient Roman town traversed by the ancient Via Flaminia, where important public buildings have been discovered. We can still see the remains of the S. Damiano Arch, with particularly beautiful and fascinating surroundings.

The other gem, closely linked to the area’s makeup is the Dunarobba Fossil Forest, a rare example of a forest that existed 3 million years ago, with very well-preserved tree trunks set in a lunar landscape.

Montefalco DOC

The grape production area suitable for the production of a designation of origin wine "Montefalco" includes suitable land to the quality of the entire territory of the municipality of Montefalco and part of the territory of the municipalities of Bevagna, Gualdo Cattaneo, Castel Ritaldi and Giano dell 'Umbria located in the province of Perugia.

Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG

Only 100% Sagrantino grapes are used in the production of Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG.This grape grows solely in the Montefalco area. It has unique characteristics that bear no similarities with any other grape variety in Italy. All efforts to cultivate this grape in other areas have produced no comparable results.

Torgiano DOCG

The production area includes the entire territory of the Town of Torgiano, with the exclusion of the alluvial land along the course of the Tiber and Chiascio rivers, as well as the lands at the bottom of the valley and along the hollows that descend on the Northern side of the hill of Brufa.
