Most travelers booking villas in Italy have wine on their mind, yet with such a diverse array of libations being produced in the Boot, it can be difficult for travelers to decide where they want to go.  One region with libations that have been growing in prestige over the past several years is the province of Umbria, and vacationers hoping to sample some of the finest wines in the area may want to start their journey at Decugnano dei Barbi.

This small winery has been producing some of the best local vinos for more than eight centuries, benefitting from a unique microclimate that produces a wide range of temperature shifts throughout the year. The primary product of the vineyard is a sparkling spumante, though Decugnano dei Barbi has been known to produce the regional specialty known as Orvieto.

In addition to sampling the sumptuous flavors on offer, visitors heading to the vineyard can enjoy the serene setting in which it is found. Located amid green, rolling hills and steady breezes, the facility boasts some excellent rural views that will allow travelers to forget their troubles, relax and soak in the Italian sun.

Of course, many of the producer's wines are available for sale, meaning guests can return to their luxury rentals with a bottle to share with that special someone.
