Collection: Umbria Grechetto IGT

Grechetto is one of central Italy's most charming white grapes, and under the Umbria Grechetto IGT designation you will find wines that belong to central Umbria. It is a firmly geographically anchored appellation that spreads across the heart of the region and includes, among others, the municipality of Montefalco. Here the place itself is part of the identity, and that gives the wines a clear rootedness in the landscape.

The designation is first and foremost known for white wines based on Grechetto, and you typically encounter the grape as a single-varietal wine. Several producers bottle precisely such varietal Grechetto wines, and that is the style that defines the selection here. Expect a fresh, uncomplicated white wine with good drinkability that suits both everyday meals and a quiet moment at home.

An interesting feature of the zone is that many of the houses that have made a name for themselves with the powerful red Sagrantino from Montefalco also make Grechetto in the same area. This means the grape often comes from producers with solid craftsmanship and deep roots in the Umbrian landscape, where white and red go hand in hand. For you as a drinker it is a good guide: behind many of these white wines lies the same experience and care that has made the area known for its red wines.
