Lungarotti Montefalco Rosso DOC

Sagrantino meets Sangiovese – the Montefalco Rosso DOC from Lungarotti shows what Umbria has to offer beyond its Tuscan neighbors: structure, depth and an earthiness that is typical of the hills around Montefalco.

Lungarotti is among the pioneers of Umbrian winemaking. Since the 1960s, the family has been shaping the region's DOC and DOCG landscape and today cultivates over 250 hectares between Torgiano and Montefalco. The Montefalco Rosso matures for 12 months in French oak barrels , followed by 6 months of bottle aging – enough time to soften the robust tannins of the Sagrantino component.

In the glass, dark ruby ​​red with violet reflections. On the nose, blackberry, plum, and cocoa, with a hint of cinnamon and tobacco. Medium-bodied on the palate, with soft tannins, lively acidity, and a finish that lingers with spicy notes of black pepper and dark chocolate. James Suckling: 91 points , Veronelli: 3 stars (2013).
