Description

The Umbria IGT Rosso wine - L'UM by Lungarotti is an authentic expression of the Umbrian terroir, renowned for its oenological excellence. Produced by the historic Lungarotti winery, located in the heart of Umbria, this red wine stands out for its balanced profile and refined structure.

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, promising a rich and complex olfactory experience. On the nose, L'UM by Lungarotti reveals notes of ripe red fruits like cherries and blackberries, harmoniously blending with spicy nuances and a light touch of vanilla, derived from aging in wood.

On the palate, the wine is generous and velvety, with soft tannins well balanced by a lively acidity. The fruity notes are confirmed and enriched with elegant accents of chocolate and coffee, leading to a persistent and pleasantly aromatic finish.

The Umbria IGT Rosso - L'UM is ideal for pairing with robust dishes from Umbrian and Italian cuisine in general, such as roasted red meats, game-based dishes, and aged cheeses. This wine is also an excellent companion for convivial evenings, where its elegance and complexity can be fully appreciated.

Lungarotti's attention to sustainability and quality is reflected not only in the winemaking process but also in the respect for the landscape and environment, making every sip of this wine a true expression 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.

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.
