Umbria

Umbria, in central Italy, is a region of lush rolling hills, hilltop villages and iconic, historic towns. Its annual wine production of around one million hectoliters, is less than one third that of neighboring Tuscany, and makes it the country's fourth-smallest wine-producing region by volume. The climate of Umbria is similar to that of Tuscany - cold, rainy winters and dry summers with abundant sunshine. Umbria, just like the central regions of Marches and Lazio, is best known for its white-wine production: nearly 60% of wine produced is white.
