Rosso dell'Umbria IGT

Rosso dell'Umbria IGT is a broad classification covering red wines produced throughout Umbria, a landlocked region in central Italy bordered by Tuscany, Lazio, and Marche. The diverse terroir ranges from the Apennine foothills to the fertile plains surrounding Lake Trasimeno, with a predominantly Mediterranean climate modified by altitude variations. While the designation permits various grape varieties, Sangiovese typically dominates these blends, often complemented by international varieties like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, producing wines that range from everyday drinking styles to more structured, age-worthy expressions.
