Unlike Tuscany, Umbria has luckily been untouched by large-scale tourism. Etruscans and Romans made wine in this fertile region 2,500 years ago. Innumerable artists have lived here enriching its piazzas with architectural jewels and frescoed its churches and palaces with dazzling masterpieces.

Food ingredients and preparation have remained traditional. Olive oil, lamb and Durham wheat pasta. Truffles from Norcia. Pecorino tartufato. Stuffed “porchetta”, young roasted pig flavored with wild fennel. Stringozzi pasta resembling rustic spaghetti. Cardoon and lentils are protected by IGP. Unsalted bread, “casereccio”, is baked in wooden ovens.

This is “essential” cooking where everything is balanced beautifully and all the flavors are brought out to sing together with their wines to a perfect pitch, in one of the most magical settings in the world.
