Descrizione

The Rubicone Famoso IGT from Tenuta Santa Lucia is a refined and distinctive expression, born from the generous lands of Emilia-Romagna. This white wine is primarily produced from the Famoso grape, a native variety rediscovered and valued for its unique aromatic profiles and its extraordinary ability to reflect the terroir.

Characterized by a straw-yellow color with greenish reflections, the Rubicone Famoso offers an aromatic bouquet that entices with notes of white flowers, fresh fruits like peach and pear, and a slight touch of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it reveals itself as full and harmonious, with a lively freshness that underscores its balanced structure and offers a pleasantly persistent sip.

Aged in stainless steel to maintain the freshness and expressiveness of the grape variety, this wine is an excellent choice to accompany light appetizers, fish dishes, or fresh cheeses. Its versatile character also makes it suitable as an aperitif, appreciated for its ability to stimulate the palate.

Produced with meticulous attention to sustainability, Tenuta Santa Lucia follows environmentally-friendly agricultural practices, ensuring that each bottle not only offers a sensory experience but also testifies to a commitment to nature and the territory. Purchasing this Rubicone Famoso IGT is not only a pleasure for the palate but also a support for the viticultural traditions and biodiversity of Emilia-Romagna.

Winery history

The estate was established when the owning family purchased a farmhouse in Sabina and gradually planted vineyards; over time it evolved from producing grapes sold to third parties to bottling its own wines, with a progressive selection of the estate's labels and crus.

Production philosophy

Focused on vineyard care and on highlighting the characteristics of the local terroir: a pursuit of quality in the vineyard and cellar practices aimed at expressing the distinctive character of the grapes and the production site.

Terroir and vineyards

Hilly terrain in the Sabina area, with mixed soils characterized by pebbles and sediments. The location is influenced by the proximity of Monte Soratte and by the geographical area between Rome and the province of Rieti.
