Tenuta Di Salviano Castello di Titignano Turlo Rosso IGT 2022

In the 1990s, the Incisa della Rocchetta family, the legendary owners of Sassicaia, saw something special in Umbria that the wine world had somehow missed.

Nestled among Umbria’s rolling hills on the southern bank of Lake Corbara, the Salviano property offered the kind of exceptional terroir they’d built their reputation on in Tuscany. They bought the land, planted vines, and have been making wine there ever since. This is the Sassicaia family doing what they do best, just in a region where no one’s paying attention yet.

The story goes that it was the family matriarch, Donna Nerina Corsini (Giovanni Incisa’s mother) who noticed that part of the Salviano land was perfectly suited to red vines. She wanted to make a red wine that she could enjoy at home with family and friends. That became the start of Turlo, an unconventional blend from the territory of Lake Corbara. What started as a family wine has become one of Umbria’s most compelling reds.
