Here’s a Pinot Grigio from Umbria that boasts a ripe, sunny disposition and aromas of peach, honey and almond nut. It has a distinct purity of fruit aromas, good intensity and a chewy consistency. Because it has less acidity than Grigios from northern Italy, it would pair with creamy, slightly sweet dishes like cool cream of tomato soup.

Torre di Giano is a remarkable example of the freshness and easy drinkability that can be achieved with Umbria’s Trebbiano and Grechetto grapes. The blend is food-friendly, well-priced, easy on the palate and makes a great companion to fish, white meat and vegetarian dishes.

Trebbiano and Grechetto are combined to produce a hearty white blend redolent of soapy flower, scented candle and sweet fruit. Umbria’s warm sunshine has shaped a creamy wine with good length and body.

Here’s a lean, almost colorless, citrus-driven Grigio from sunny Umbria that has a bit of candy and cola on its sweet, fragrant nose. There are peppermint renderings and dried hay in the background. It’s watery and lean in the mouth and would pair with appetizers or simple vegetable dishes.

This excellent vineyard reserve (an Umbrian blend made with Sangiovese and Canaiolo and aged 12 months in oak) has a clean and polished nose with territory-driven aromas of red berry, spice, chocolate and tealeaf. It offers deep penetration and succulence in the mouth and has a soft personality capped by fresh crispness on the close.

This is a tight, compact and slightly nervous Sangiovese-Canaiolo blend from Umbria that emits loads of intensity and aromatic energy: Forest berry, blueberries violets, leather, nuts and spicy cinnamon all come to mind. It’s an easy wine with a streamlined mouthfeel and a touch of thorny sourness on the finish. The natural acidity would make an excellent companion to most pasta dishes.

Ultra floral, with fresh, clean honeysuckle aromas. In the mouth, apple and peach flavors are fresh and fun, while the finish is smooth and nutty. Soft and meant to drink now; good in its class.
