A few months ago I was enjoying the wines of Sicily<\/a>, and last week I was all over Campania<\/a>. I must say that I enjoy drinking up and down the Italian boot as there is always something something new to discover. And while I know exactly where Umbria is (I could completely fill a blank map with every region – thanks Society of Wine Educators), I can\u2019t say that I\u2019ve had much experience with the wines of Umbria. Located in central Italy, Umbria is bordered by Tuscany to the west and Marches to the east. And while its landscape and climate is similar to that of Tuscany, it is a bit hotter and drier due to the fact that it is landlocked and doesn\u2019t receive the maritime influence that Tuscany does. Also, having Tuscany as a neighbor often means that the region is overshadowed.<\/p>\n Known as the \u201cGreen Heart of Italy\u201d with its lush green hills dotted with medieval hill towns, Umbria is known for wine as well as for olive oil and truffles.<\/p>\n
