Description

The Cadetto Rosso from the Lungarotti winery is a classic example of elegance and typicity from the Umbrian region, where the winemaking tradition harmoniously blends with modern vinification techniques. This wine is classified as IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica), a symbol of high quality and regional specificity.

Cadetto Rosso is primarily composed of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, carefully selected and hand-harvested from the clayey and calcareous soils of the Torgiano region. The maturation takes place in steel tanks to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the fruit, followed by a brief period in oak barrels to enrich the structure without overwhelming the varietal characteristics.

Visually, it presents a bright ruby red color with violet reflections. On the nose, it offers an intensely aromatic bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, accompanied by spicy nuances and a light touch of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced with good acidity and soft tannins, making it pleasantly harmonious and easy to drink.

This wine pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine, such as pasta with meat sauces, roasted red meats, and medium-aged cheeses. It is also ideal as a meditation wine, thanks to its complex and enticing aromatic profile.

In conclusion, the Umbria IGT Rosso - Cadetto Rosso by Lungarotti is a wine that manages to combine simplicity and complexity, offering a profound and satisfying tasting experience, ideal for both special occasions and the daily pleasure of good wine.

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.

Awards and recognitions

Among the historical recognitions: the first DOCs of Umbria for Torgiano Bianco and Rosso; the awarding of DOCG status to Torgiano Rosso Riserva. Labels such as Rubesco Vigna Monticchio have received significant awards and placements in national wine rankings.
