Umbria Wine – package tour

This is Umbria, land of the gods.

Churches and cathedrals everywhere, in every small town.

Hermit caves inside every mountain, monasteries wherever silence reigns.

In this land, there are more gods and saints than men.

 

These (translated) lines, by the poet and writer Vittorino Andreoli, underline the spiritual and cultural aspects of Umbria that every Italian is familiar with. But there is another Umbria, not as well-known as it should be beyond its regional borders and which is quickly becoming a benchmark: the Umbria famous for its wines.

Wine production, since ancient Roman times, has in fact developed and consolidated over the centuries, achieving remarkable pinnacles of excellence in almost all areas dedicated to the cultivation of vines. On this wine tour, with the guidance of our expert collaborators, you can discover some of the most important wineries in the Umbria region. You will be able to taste unique products that manage to convey all the characteristics of what is known by the French term ‘terroir’: the set of peculiarities relating to the microclimate and soil which give rise to a fine wine.

You will start the weekend by discovering the Assisi area. Here, in addition to admiring the city of St Francis and St Clare, you will visit one of the most successful wineries in the area. You will taste the wines of this DOC which has always been a constant benchmark in oenology, thanks also to recent research on classic vines such as Sangiovese and Grechetto.

The second day is dedicated to Montefalco, perhaps the best-known area, with its powerful reds and where Sagrantino is the undisputed king due to its great typicality and austere palate. In recent decades, this wine has established itself internationally alongside the finest wines from Tuscany and Piedmont. It is highly suitable for lengthy barrel ageing and subsequent fine tuning in the bottle.

The next day will focus on Orvieto, where viticulture first developed historically thanks in part to its proximity to Rome. The Orvieto DOC denomination is a benchmark for lovers of white wine but it is the Lake Corbara wines produced by harnessing botrytis or ‘noble rot’ that, in our opinion, achieve almost unparalleled peaks of excellence.

You will finally taste the wines of Lake Trasimeno. Here you will find a great range of grape varietals, where Gamay stands out: a red-berried grape rediscovered in recent years, it has a broad aromatic bouquet.

You will spend the night, during your stay, at one of the farm stays selected by our staff from where you can easily reach the wineries on the route. There is also a dinner in a small village in the Umbrian Valley. You will be able taste and combine the wines you tasted in the wineries with the restaurant’s delicious and typical local cuisine.
