Monterubiaglio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monterubiaglio is a small hilltop village (a paesello) in the region of Umbria in Italy. It is located near Orvieto (about 20 minutes by moped). Monterubiaglio is not its own municipality. It is part of the comune of Castelviscardo which is further up the hill upon which Monterubiaglio is located. Literally the name means "Mount of the red garlic". Monterubiaglio has approximately 600 inhabitants, but during the summer time the population grows much larger as it is a popular vacation spot for persons who are originally from the village but may have moved elsewhere for work or family (such as Roma (Rome)).
Local agriculture is a primary industry, particular viniculture and its production is part of the Orvieto wine producing region. Lately however some wine growers have produced a new label "Monrubio" which is a red wine (unlike Orvieto Classico which is white).
