Then \u2013 as emphasized by this famous guide specialising in food and wine \u2013 there are recognitions from North to South: classifications such as <strong>Orvieto and Torgiano<\/strong> are on the rise, many have their eye on some surprising varieties (above all \u00a0trebbiano spoletino from the area of Spoleto and ciliegiolo of Narni) and\u00a0grechetto, is nobilified \u2013 and rightly so \u2013 through ageing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Todi DOC and more<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Todi<\/strong>\u00a0has a lot of offer in terms of wine thanks to its hills that give the vineyards a one-up and also thanks to an important farming and wine making tradition. In particular the town boasts a \u2018controlled designation of origin\u2019 classification,\u00a0<strong>Todi DOC<\/strong>, since 2010 which includes various types of wine: white and red, also superior; <strong>Grechetto<\/strong>, also superior and passito; <strong>Sangiovese<\/strong>, also superior; Merlot, also superior. Grechetto di Todi\u00a0is, in particular, one of the most appreciated: it is a white wine that ranges from dry to slightly sweet, velvety, full, with a slightly bitter and fruity aftertaste. It is ideal with mild-flavoured first courses, but also white meat, grilled fish and cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Of the wines from Todi, <strong>Grero<\/strong> is earning increasingly greater interest and appreciation. An ancient native variety that, in 2011 after extensive studies and experimentation, was included in the \u201cNational Register of Grape Varieties\u201d. Grero is distinguished by its limited production due to a fairly modest yield on the vine. Fresh, full, slightly bitter and balanced on the whole, this wine is excellent paired with strong flavours, especially charcuterie, cheeses and grilled meats.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a small review of the best wines of Umbria\u00a0with a well-deserved focus on Todi with the Grechetto Doc and the Grero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2916,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[96],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.0 -
