Umbria Is One of the Most Fascinating Wine Regions in the World UmbriA Umbria is one of the most fascinating wine regions in the world. Referred to as the “Green Heart of Italy” because of its central location filled with lush rolling green hills, historic towns and rich culture. The excellence of Umbrian wine is recognized throughout the world. This soulful and beautiful region is known for its own grape specialties and highlights the innovation of modern winemaking. From the iconic, crisp whites such as Orvieto & Trebbiano to the famous Grecchetto. Rich and powerful reds like Sangiovese & the indigenous flagship grape Sagrantino offer lavish color and ripeness with profound tannins. Grown on the hillsides throughout Montefalco, Sagrantino boasts a diverse range, from the easy drinking Rosso di Montefalco, to the complex age worth structure of Sagrantino di Montefalco. Umbria is an incredibly focused wine region that offers something special for every palate. Chef Marco Pellegrini, Sabrina Vallorini, Stephen and Diane Bragoli & Daniel Bragoli wish you an amazing experience here at Osteria Umbra.

  • Presentazione Standard Di Powerpoint
    Tenuta Montauto extends for 200 hectares in one of the most suggestive sceneries of the Tuscan Maremma. It is located 10 km from the coast of Capalbio, a proximity that gives important thermal excursions, on clayey hills rich in quartz, at an altitude of 200 m above sea level. • The management of vineyards is organic and harvesting is done by hand: they work the vineyards mechanically, they cut the grass still with hoe and they use sulfites with organic parameters. All the electricity they use comes from renewable sources. They have a maniacal care and attention to bring cleanliness, freshness and enhance the minerality of their wines that are also vegan. One word to describe their wines? "Artisanal." Montauto winery offers the possibility to organize guided tours that allow all wine lovers to get closer to the fascinating world of wine. You will be accompanied in a tour that will start from the winery, where it will be explained the various phases of wine production, from harvesting to vinification, from aging to bottling. At the end of the tour you will be accompanied in the room located above the winery where the tasting of their products will take place. Fancy tasting: Tasting of 4 wines and oil IGP Toscano, all accompanied by platters of typical products. WINE • *ENOS I: Blend of 100% Sauvignon (old vines).

And along with wine, the land, vines, work and creativity: a passion with a long history, beginning in Torgiano at the end of the 1950’s and advancing with the Montefalco winery, founded more than a decade ago. In the world, Lungarotti is a synonym of Umbrian wine. It is distinguished by its bond with the territory and its dynamism in enhancing it, by respect for tradi- tions and outlook towards the future. These are the “golden rules” of the two sisters, Chiara and Teresa, who guide it: quality, respect for the environment, research, innovation, social responsibility. Total quality can be reached only by starting in the vineyard: each wine is produced in dedicated vineyards and is calibrated according to soil type and microclimate in order to obtain the desired - not random - characteristics, both for the easy-to-drink wines and for the great “cru’s”. The most prized vine- yards produce the premium-classic reserve wines of Tenute di Torgiano and Montefalco, as well as those under the Terre d’Umbria brand, whose blends represent a synthesis of this fascinating land. Be they classic or innovative, they all transmit the essence of Umbria and its quality of life. Thanks to moderate use of wood aging and long bottle aging, these wines are elegant and harmonious, with a long potential for evolution: because quality is not only for the present but for always.

    A Day with Chiara Published on iItaly.org (http://108.61.128.93) A Day with Chiara Charles Scicolone (January 11, 2010) Gambero Rosso " ...Lungarotti wines... have reacquired the timeless allure that has earned this Torgiano estate a place among the most prestigious winemaking houses in Italy and indeed the world." It was a bright sunny morning when Chiara Lungarotti arrived at my hotel. We were going to visit the new Lungarotti winery in Montefalco and revisit the winery in Torgiano. I had been there several times in the past and had stayed at their hotel and restaurant Le Tre Vaselle [2]. I can still remember the 1973 and 1975 Rubesco Riserva that I drank there back in1981. Chiara is the CEO of Cantine Georgio Lungarotti and directs the company with her sister Teresa Severini Lungarotti It was founded in the early 1960’s by their father, the legendary Georigo Lungarotti. When Georgio Lungarotti died they became the first women to run a major winery in Italy. Page 1 of 4 A Day with Chiara Published on iItaly.org (http://108.61.128.93) I was in Montefalco for La Classificazione del Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG [3] conference and since I was free on Saturday, I wrote to Cantina Lungarotti asking if I could visit. I was told the winery was closed on Saturday, but Chiara said she would only be too happy to meet with me. However she had been traveling a lot and would have to take her 2 and a half year old son along. His name is Giovanni but Chiara called him by his nickname, Mimmo, and he had missed his mother.
