🗺 Umbria

Umbria wine region is located in central Italy surrounded by Tuscany, Lazio and Marche wine regions. Etruscans and Umbrians were the first to plant vines 3,000 years ago. Later, the region was known especially for the white wine Orvieto. The Orvieto still exists today – it is called Trebbiano, Verdello or Canaiolo Bianco – but today Umbria is best known for its characterful red and white wines.
