Lungarotti Vigna Monticchio Riserva Rubesco Torgiano Rosso 2019

The flagship wine of the beloved Lungarotti family, this has been considered one of central Italy’s finest reds since its first vintage in 1964. It’s frequently awarded the Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso. This consistently fantastic red offers flavours of sour cherry and strawberry accented by notes of dried rosemary, licorice and leather, all neatly wrapped around a core of silky tannins that melt on the finish.
