Colli Martani DOC

IL PROGETTODOCCOLLI MARTANIAAIT00139221Denominazione di Origine Controllata

No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.

Best known as the home appellation for Grechetto, Umbria's signature white grape, and used by the big Montefalco houses for their white wines. Grechetto dei Colli Martani is a mid-weight white with pear, golden apple, hazelnut, a slightly waxy texture and moderate acidity, sometimes barrel fermented for extra richness. The Sangiovese reds are decent but mostly local. Caprai's Grecante is the well-known version and one of the most widely distributed Umbrian whites in the US.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Colli Martani, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
