The\u00a0Umbria region of central Italy<\/strong>\u00a0is famous for its lovely small and medium-sized cities \u2013 Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto, Gubbio, Spello, Orvieto, and many others \u2013 which every year draw throngs of appreciative visitors. Todi must also be numbered among these and offers the usual attractions \u2013 art, landscape, monuments, and cuisine \u2013 which have long made Italy a magnet for tourists seeking not merely relaxation but also the finer things in life.<\/p>\n In\u00a0Todi<\/strong>\u00a0they can find such sites as the late-medieval Palazzo del Priori and Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, the magnificent Bramante-designed Tempio di Santa Maria della Consolazione, and a series of imposing palaces while sampling the black truffle-based dishes of the succulent local cuisine. Wine is also part of the picture, but for most of its history the city has been in the shadow of nearby Orvieto, whose white wine production has been known for centuries and constitutes the largest \u2013 by an ample margin –\u00a0 controlled appellation in all of Umbria.<\/p>\n But the shadow has lifted: in recent years a series of small and medium-sized wineries have demonstrated with their production that the vineyards of the countryside around Todi can provide high class grapes for equally interesting wines. In the forefront of this Renaissance, however, has been Tudernum, the cooperative winery of the township, an important force with its various hundreds of members and its 500 acres of vineyards.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cantina-tudernum2.jpg\")
