Where it comes from
Umbria, Italy
Umbria — a landlocked region in central Italy, tucked beside Tuscany, sometimes called the country's green heart.
Grechetto
Grechetto is a white grape most closely tied to Umbria in central Italy, where it is a mainstay of the region's whites both on its own and in blends.
Trebbiano
Trebbiano is a white grape and one of Italy's most widely planted, actually a family of related varieties responsible for oceans of everyday white wine as well as the base for balsamic vinegar and brandy.
Pinot Blanc
Pinot Blanc is a white grape most associated with Alsace in France, a colour mutation within the Pinot family and known in German-speaking regions as Weißburgunder or Weisser Burgunder.
Viognier
Viognier is a white grape from the northern Rhône Valley in France, long the signature of the tiny appellation Condrieu and a variety that came close to disappearing before a revival spread it far beyond its Rhône home.
