Sagrantino di Montefalco and Trasimeno: The Green Heart of Wine
Umbria is the region of Sagrantino di Montefalco, one of Italy's most tannic and long-lived reds, but also of the Colli del Trasimeno, where the lake moderates the climate and offers fresher whites. Medieval villages, olive trees, and green hills set the scene for often family-run wineries, which offer vineyard tours and extra virgin olive oil tastings alongside wine tastings. Excellent pairings include cured meats, truffle, and Umbrian legumes. Book your winery visit in Umbria at the same price as the producer, with instant confirmation.
