The Torgiano DOC "Rubesco" red wine produced by the renowned Lungarotti winery embodies the richness and complexity of Umbria, a region famously fertile for viticultural excellences. Created predominantly with Sangiovese grapes and a small percentage of Canaiolo, this red wine represents a true celebration of tradition and innovation.
"Rubesco" stands out for its deep ruby red color with garnet highlights that tend to intensify with aging. On the nose, it offers a complex and enveloping bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, which are complemented by nuances of spices and hints of tobacco and leather, a result of maturation in wood.
On the palate, this wine is structured yet balanced, with well-integrated tannins that make it an ideal companion for dishes rich in red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its well-balanced acidity and tasteful persistence make it complex and harmonious, capable of superb evolution over time.
The winemaking process follows methods that combine traditional and modern techniques, thus ensuring the maximum expression of the terroir. Aging partially occurs in oak barrels, which contributes to imparting those woody and vanilla notes that enchant the palate.
In conclusion, the Torgiano DOC "Rubesco" from Lungarotti is a wine of character and finesse, ideal for lovers of robust and complex red wines, who seek in every sip the history and tradition of the Umbrian territory.

Winery history
The Lungarotti family produced wine and oil for centuries; the modern enterprise took shape under Giorgio Lungarotti who, from the 1950s–60s, brought together the family estates and began production and wider-scale marketing. Over time the company promoted the local denomination, opened the Museo del Vino and later the Museo dell'Olivo e dell'Olio, established the Fondazione Lungarotti and expanded its holdings to include the Tenuta di Montefalco, where Sagrantino is produced. Management has remained in the family and in recent years has focused on quality, research and sustainability.
Production philosophy
Commitment to quality, respect for the land and family continuity, combined with a strong connection to culture: preserving and innovating while respecting tradition, with attention to sustainable practices and hospitality.
Terroir and vineyards
The main production areas are Torgiano and the Tenuta di Montefalco, in the heart of Umbria. The vineyards are cultivated using practices aimed at preserving water resources and improving grape quality. The estate manages vineyards both in Torgiano and in the Montefalco area.
