Lungarotti Pinot Grigio Umbria

An uncomplicated white wine from Umbria that shows what Pinot Grigio can achieve beyond the north – fruity, aromatic and with more warmth in the glass.

Lungarotti is the defining winery of Umbria. Giorgio Lungarotti was the first to cultivate Pinot Grigio in this region in the 1970s – long before the grape variety became a mass phenomenon. The winery is located near Torgiano, south of Perugia, and today manages over 250 hectares in the hilly landscape of central Italy.

Straw yellow in the glass with greenish reflections. The nose offers aromas of white peach, ripe banana, and a hint of apple blossom. Light and fresh on the palate, with a rounded, pleasant structure and no harsh edges. The finish is short and clean.
