Chiorri
Chiorri Winery stands as a testament to the fusion of tradition and innovation in the art of winemaking. Founded in the late 19th century (1890) by Antonio Chiorri, the winery boasts a rich history spanning over five generations and showcases what Umbria wine is about.
With a past deeply rooted in the fertile soils of the Colli Perugini, the Chiorri family has been cultivating a variety of grapes for generations, creating wines that capture the essence of the region. Among their prized vines are the Grechetto and Pinot Grigio, known for producing white wines with a distinctive character, and the robust Sangiovese, the backbone of many of their reds.
The winery's approach to viticulture is a harmonious blend of respect for the past and a forward-thinking commitment to sustainability. This philosophy is evident in every aspect of their operation, from the careful tending of the vineyards to the meticulous process of transforming grapes into wine. Chiorri's dedication to sustainable practices ensures that their winemaking leaves a gentle footprint on the environment, preserving the land's natural beauty for future generations.
Their wines, all bearing the DOC dei Colli Perugini and IGT Umbria designations, are a celebration of the region's rich viticultural heritage. The Chiorri family takes pride in their work, which is not just about producing wine, but about crafting stories in liquid form. Each bottle is a narrative of the land, the climate, and the people who pour their hearts into every step of the wine's journey from vine to glass.
In embracing modern technology, Chiorri Winery doesn't lose sight of the traditional methods that have shaped their history. Instead, they integrate the best of both worlds, ensuring that each vintage is a reflection of Umbria's unique terroir. Their commitment to quality and sustainability has garnered recognition, with initiatives like the carbon footprint project highlighting their role in promoting environmental stewardship within the wine industry.
