Lungarotti Rubesco Vigna Monticchio Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG 2016

This particular selection of Rubesco from its first harvest in 1964 from Vigna Monticchio is the flagship wine of Lungarotti in the world. Considered among the best Italian reds, this wine is a deep expression of Umbria, its hills, and its people with a unique balance between power and elegance.

Intense ruby red, with violet nuances. Bouquet: elegant and complex, reminiscent of sour cherry; delicate hints of violet and refined woody scents (cocoa, coffee); spicy finish of pepper and cloves. Palate: from the very beginning it is deep, harmonic and well-balanced in structure; it presents a complex and slightly balsamic fruit; the tannin texture is enveloping, with hints of licorice, jam and a long finish that announces a delicate minerality and a spicy closure. If well preserved, it has a life that can easily exceed 50 years. Pair with game, roast-grilled meat, medium and high seasoning cheeses and traditional Asian dishes.
