Situated in northern Umbria, 350 metres above sea level near the picturesque village of Monte Petriolo, Tiberi is a fourth generation family winery tended to by Cesare Tiberi and his grandchildren Federico and Beatrice. Spanning less than 4 hectares, Tiberi’s small plots celebrate native red and white grape varieties including Gamay del Trasimeno, Ciliegiolo, Grechetto, Trebbiano and San Colombana on soil that is mostly rocky schist and brushed by dry Mediterranean winds. This link to the past – through the untouched soils and Cesare, who has always lived and worked in the village – makes for very rustic wines with soul. 

This wine is light-to-medium-bodied and satisfying, full of fruit yet vegetal, with notes of fennel, cherries and herbs. Gamay del Trasimeno is a little-known grape that is in fact a variety of Grenache only found in this part of Umbria near Lake Trasimeno. Federico Tiberi describes this grape as a ‘red with the heart of green’, which captures the essence - not to mention the flavour - of this red so well.
