The Torgiano Rosso Riserva Vigna Rubesco DOCG is an exclusive product of the Lungarotti estate, a name that evokes prestige and quality in the Italian wine landscape. This wine is a symbol of Umbrian excellence, a region rich in winemaking traditions.

The Vigna Rubesco stands out for its robust and complex character. It is primarily produced from Sangiovese grapes, with a small addition of Canaiolo, which give the wine a unique aromatic profile and solid structure. The winemaking process follows traditional methods, with a long maceration of the skins and subsequent aging in oak barrels, enriching the wine with aromas of vanilla and sweet spices.

With a deep ruby red color, the Torgiano Rosso Riserva Vigna Rubesco reveals a rich bouquet of mature fruit aromas such as cherries and plums, alongside notes of tobacco, leather, and a slight touch of black pepper. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, with well-integrated tannins and a freshness that balances the alcohol. The finish is persistent and sophisticated, with a return of the fruity and spicy notes perceived on the nose.

This wine is ideal to accompany dishes of Umbrian cuisine, such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Its richness and complexity also make it perfect as a meditation wine.

The experience and dedication of Lungarotti in producing high-quality wines are fully represented in this Torgiano Rosso Riserva. It is a wine that continues to evolve and captivate, suitable for connoisseurs who seek history, terroir, and craftsmanship in a wine.
