Umbrian Red Wines | Premium Italian Reds

The green heart of Italy: the identity of Umbrian red wines

Umbria, a region of rolling hills and centuries-old traditions, expresses an authentic character through its red wines, combining power and refinement. Our selection perfectly represents this dual wine-making spirit: on the one hand, structured and long-lived wines based on Sagrantino, a native grape variety with an imposing personality; on the other, more immediate and fragrant expressions based on Sangiovese, which finds interpretations of great elegance and territoriality here. The selected producers, from the historic wineries of Lungarotti and Arnaldo Caprai to small artisan producers such as Roccafiore and Tenuta Bellafonte, express through each bottle their deep connection with a territory that has made quality and identity its founding values.

Sagrantino: power and elegance in the glass

Sagrantino di Montefalco represents the pinnacle of Umbrian winemaking and is one of Italy's most distinctive wines. Our labels fully express the extraordinary complexity of this native grape variety: intense color, powerful structure, significant but refined tannins, and an aromatic spectrum ranging from wild berries to spices, with balsamic notes that develop with aging. There are also more accessible expressions, perfect for approaching this extraordinary grape variety. The Montefalco Rosso wines, with their blend of Sangiovese, Sagrantino, and other varieties, offer a more immediate and versatile interpretation, while maintaining a distinctive territorial character.

Other wine gems: Torgiano and Sangiovese expressions

Alongside Sagrantino, our collection showcases other examples of Umbrian winemaking excellence. Lungarotti's Torgiano Rosso Riserva “Rubesco Vigna Monticchio,” with its 94 Robert Parker points, is one of the most refined expressions of Umbrian Sangiovese, while the innovative interpretations of producers such as Roccafiore demonstrate the dynamism of this region. The range is completed by some interesting expressions of international grape varieties such as the Merlot “Sodale” from the Cotarella family, which testify to the ability of Umbrian producers to combine tradition and modernity. From everyday wines to great reserves for meditation, our selection of Umbrian reds offers the opportunity to discover a region that, while maintaining a more discreet profile than neighboring Tuscany and Marche, produces wines of extraordinary personality and value.
