Salviano Turlo Lago di Corbara DOC 2018

Tenuta di Salviano was purchased by the Principe Corsini family in the late 17th century. The property has Ethruscan and Roman descent, in fact the main house on Salviano was a Roman villa and somewhere on the estate is a necropolis. Donna Nerina Corsini married Il Marchese Enrico Incisa della Rocchetta, and their two children Giovanni and Eleonora are now the owners of Tenuta di Salviano. Il Marchese Giovanni Incisa della Rocchetta manages the estate and oversees the winemaking with his wife, La Marchesa Tara. Lago di Corbara DOC is situated juxtaposed from Orvieto Classico Superiore on the north bank of its namesake body of water. Here, temperatures are warmer and and well suited for red varieties, both native and not. Vineyard elevations here range from 350-500 meters above sea level and soils are a composite of limestone at higher points and clay. Sangiovese is marked by intense floral aromatics and earth elements while Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon offer structure and darker fruit tones.
