Umbria IGT Rosso - Cadetto Rosso - Lungarotti 2021

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.
