Region: Perugia, Umbria, Italy
Grapes: Trebbiano Spoletino and/or indigenous Umbrian white varieties
Body: Light to medium
Notes: Fresh and herbal. White peach, lemon zest, chamomile, fresh almond, and a clean, slightly bitter mineral finish with lovely Umbrian character. Central Italy's hidden white potential in every sip.
Pairing: Grilled fish, pasta with truffle, roasted chicken, soft fresh cheeses, or light vegetable dishes.
Cantina Margò "Fiero" White is produced at Cantina Margò in Perugia — a small, artisan winery in the hills of Umbria, one of Italy's most beautiful and underappreciated wine regions. The estate farms indigenous Umbrian white varieties on the mineral-rich soils of the Perugia hills, where the region's continental climate of warm days and cool nights preserves natural acidity and aromatic freshness in the grapes. "Fiero" — Italian for proud or fierce — reflects the winery's conviction and directness: minimal intervention, native yeast fermentation, and bottling without fining or filtration to capture the honest character of the terroir. Umbria is best known internationally for its reds — Sagrantino di Montefalco chief among them — but producers like Cantina Margò are demonstrating that the region's indigenous white varieties have just as much to say when farmed and vinified with care.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
