Region: Lubriano, Lazio / Umbria border, Italy (Vino d'Italia)
Grapes: Procanico (Trebbiano Toscano) and/or indigenous central Italian white varieties
Body: Medium
Notes: Warm amber and deeply complex. Dried apricot, beeswax, walnut, saffron, and a long oxidative, tannic finish with a savory Mediterranean earthiness. Time in a bottle.
Pairing: Aged sheep's milk cheese, roasted pork, charcuterie, mushroom-based dishes, or rich pasta with truffles.
Corvagialla "Ambar" is a skin-contact orange wine from Az. Agr. Corvagialla, a small natural winery perched on the dramatic tufa cliffs of Lubriano — a medieval hilltop village on the border between Lazio and Umbria overlooking the extraordinary landscape of the Calanchi badlands. This corner of central Italy has an ancient winemaking heritage and volcanic tufa soils that impart a distinctive mineral earthiness to its wines. "Ambar" undergoes extended skin maceration on indigenous white varieties in the ancestral tradition, aged in neutral oak and bottled without fining or filtration. The 2019 vintage gives this wine more than five years of development, bringing extraordinary complexity and integration to the fore — an amber wine that rewards patience and contemplation in equal measure. A true hidden gem from one of Italy's most atmospheric and underexplored wine territories.

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.
