Umbria, the modern Orvieto is a
commercial success, as one of Italy’s best-selling whites.
Procanico (a local species of Trebbiano) and Malvasia
prevail in Orvieto. The most prestigious Umbrian wine is the
red Torgiano Rosso Riserva - a modern classic based on
Sangiovese. Under the name Rubesco, it has been known to age
to unique splendor for two decades or more. A special
mention is due to the prized Sagrantino di Montefalco. Vin
Santo is usually sweet and most prized by Umbrians as a
dessert or meditation wine for any occasion.
