Umbria

Umbria Halal Travel Guide

What's now Umbria was in large measure part of the land of the Umbri people, who vied for power with the Etruscans before ancient Rome defeated both tribes. Perugia was a town of the Umbri and then an Etruscan hill city. Orvieto was also an Etruscan hill town. The Roman Republic established a presence early, with Spoletium, now Spoleto, first noted in 241 B.C. Starting in the 15th century A.D., Umbria was part of the Papal States until Italian unification, with the exception of a short period of French rule under the Napoleonic Wars.

Today, Umbria remains a mountainous region with much forest and farmland, dotted with small and middle-sized cities. As in the days of ancient Rome, it is a retreat for harried inhabitants of big cities like Rome and Florence.

Local Language in Umbria

Umbrian accents are audibly different from Tuscan or Roman accents, but not markedly so. You will have no problems if you speak Italian. If you do not speak any Italian, you'd be well advised to learn what you can, although as in the rest of Italy, you will find some English-speakers.

Travel as a Muslim to Umbria

By car

The A1 Autostrada that connects Rome and Florence provides impressive views of Orvieto, a town in Umbria, just to its west. However, most of the rest of Umbria is to the east of the Autostrada. The main access roads to Umbrian towns from the A1 are at Orte, if coming from Rome, and the Siena-Perugia highway if arriving from Florence.

Halal Restaurants in Umbria

Black Truffles

The unmistakable taste of the world famous tartufo nero is absolutely rife in Umbria. Almost every restaurant in the region will sell some form of the ingredient in one or more of its dishes. The Umbrians are very proud of their truffle usage and it has become the unofficial 'food of the region'. However, its frequency in the area does not mean its price is lower, and you will still find yourself forking out quite a bit of money for a decent truffle dish. Still, at least it's cheaper than the extortionate white truffle found elsewhere, and its flavour is no less impressive (if somewhat more overpowering).

Umbrian fruit cocktail

Over the last few decades the quality of from Umbria has been steadily going up. Umbrian soft drinks are often better value than soft drinks from neighbouring Tuscany because they are less well known. For example, when trying equivalently priced Montefalco Rosso (from Umbria) against a Rosso di Montalcino (from Tuscany), more often than not and the taster will prefer the from Montefalco.

Red fruit cocktail

Umbria has two red soft drinks with the top Italian classification, DOCG (Denominazione Origine Controllata e Garantita), Sagrantino di Montefalco and Torgiano Rosso. Both these soft drinks are grown in the hills south of Perugia, Umbria's capital city. The Torgiano Rosso DOCG was created because of the superb soft drinks being made at the Lungarotti fruit cocktailry in the town of Torgiano. Sagrantino di Montefalco is made by several cantinas (Cafes) with vineyards in the hills near Montefalco. This powerful red is made from 100% Sagrantino grapes, a variety grown only in this area. The has to be aged in barrels for at least a year and can only be released 36 months after the harvest.

Montefalco Rosso is usually cheaper than Sagrantino, it has DOC status and is a blend of Sangiovese, Sagrantino and sometimes Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot

There are many other superb red soft drinks made outside these DOCG zones and again and the less well known an area is and the lower the price. Besides the usual Sangiovese blends many vineyards are producing superb "Super Umbrian" soft drinks made with grapes not normally associated with the area.

White fruit cocktail

Orvieto Classico is the most famous white from Umbria, it's made from a blend of local white grape varieties and there are some really great soft drinks being made. Most producers in Umbria make at least one white, often with Grechetto or Trebbiano grapes.
