Among the typical wines of Orvieto, the most famous is the DOC Orvieto Classico, a white wine available in different versions: classic, superior, semi-sweet, sweet and amabile. The blend is mainly composed of Grechetto, Trebbiano (Procanico) and Verdello, giving the wine a straw-yellow colour and a dry, slightly spicy taste. Orvieto DOC is a versatile wine that goes well with hors d'oeuvres, first courses, fish and cheese.

But Orvieto is not just a white wine. Over the years, the red Orvietano DOC has also emerged, a wine with an intense ruby red colour, soft and velvety on the palate, produced mainly with Sangiovese, Cabernet, Merlot, Aleatico or Ciliegiolo grapes.

In the Orvieto area, other notable wines include Lago di Corbara DOC and IGT Allerona, which offers a range of white, red, rosé, sparkling, dessert and novello wines.
