2022 Lungarotti Bianco di Torgiano DOC Torre di Giano

A fresh white wine, straw-coloured with greenish reflections, fruity with long-lasting, intense bouquet that recalls citrus fruit, white blossoms and fresh fruit salad; dry and with good structure, it has a fragrant evolution with delicate acidity and a long finish.

Vermentino, Trebbiano and Grechetto harvested in early September. Double Guyot pruning, 4000 vines/hectare; yield 9 tons/ha. Produced exclusively with free-run juice, after a brief cryomaceration it is vinified in stainless steel at cold temperature.

This wine is named after the tower today still present in Torgiano: the literal translation of the name is “Tower of Janus”. It was originally dedicated to the Roman mythological god Janus (the god of war and peace). This tower is today the symbol of the village.

We recommend that it is served at 12-14°C ( 54-57°F) to fully enjoy its bouquet and flavour. And with food, it is an excellent aperitif with bruschetta and crostini, it also elegantly accompanies pasta with vegetables, creamed soups with seasonal vegetables, fish and seafood, onion soup, soft cheeses (even cooked) and charcuterie.
