Smooth with a good varietal nose, deep claret colour, nice texture and lingering aftertaste. Lungarotti provide a benchmark for fine wine in a region often overlooked for both its artistic and viticultural glories. After the second World War, Giorgio Lungarotti began to focus the production of his family farm on wine production. In developing the estate’s 250 hectares of vineyards, he anticipated many subsequent trends in Italian wines. Today, enologist Teresa Severini Lungarotti holds the company reins together with Giorgio’s daughter Chiara. Teresa’s skills are evident in the style of the Lungarotti white wines, while the red wines are all classics in their own right. (12 x 75 cl)
Montefalco Rosso Riserva is the result of years of in-depth research studies carried out by the Arnauldo Caprai winery to find the best growing conditions and wine-making techniques for the production of this elegant Sangiovese based wine. This wine proves that a noble variety such as Sangiovese can yield great qualitative results in Umbria too. Soft, elegant, with silky tannins and a lingering aftertaste, it shows notes of wild berries and spices beautifully brought together in a harmonious whole. The vinification process includes a prolonged period of fermentation and maceration , in order to achieve the best and most complete extraction of phenolics. After racking, the wine remains in stainless steel tanks for about 4 months. It is then aged in Large Slavonian and French Oak barrels for over 20 months. The wine has a ruby red with bright purple reflections colour and a fully developed nose with notes of intense wild berries and spices, well-balanced with a delicate aroma of vanilla. Full and well structured, long and harmoniously balanced this wine tastes superb. (6 x 75 cl)
