Beautiful Umbria, Italy is home to fabulous olive oils and
wines. Olive trees grow throughout the magnificent country side of Umbria. These fine wines and olive oil bottles are stoppered with natural cork.
Umbria celebrates these excellent wines and olive oils by displaying their
corks both inside the bottle and, once the bottle is finished, outside.
