2017 Lungarotti Rosso di Torgiano DOCG Rubesco Riserva Vigna Monticchio

An elegant wine with solid structure, deep ruby colour and complex aroma that recalls marasca cherries and blackberries, followed by notes of violet, light mentholated hints and a spicy finish. A wine of great concentration, fruity and slightly balsamic, it has soft and velvety tannins with a long, lingering finish.

Sangiovese from the Monticchio vineyard; double spurred cordon pruning system, harvested in October. Fermented in stainless steel with skin maceration, barrique aged for one year and bottle aged for several years. Thanks to its complexity, it is suited for an average aging of 30-35 years

dishes of refined international cuisine, fillet with pepper and Japanese mustard, squab with black truffles, roast beef with wasabi, Peking duck, guinea hen “alla ghiotta”, aged cheeses. Serve at 16-18°C (61-64°F) in large stemglass.
