Considered among the best Italian reds, this wine is a deep expression of Umbria, its hills, and its people with a unique balance between power and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vigna Rubesco stands out for its robust and complex character. It is primarily produced from Sangiovese grapes, with a small addition of Canaiolo, which give the wine a unique aromatic profile and solid structure. The winemaking process follows traditional methods, with a long maceration of the skins and subsequent aging in oak barrels, enriching the wine with aromas of vanilla and sweet spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs early as the 18th century, the Lungarotti family was producing wine and oil in the Middle Tiber Valley. The experience and dedication of Lungarotti in producing high-quality wines are fully represented in this Torgiano Rosso Riserva. It is a wine that continues to evolve and captivate, suitable for connoisseurs who seek history, terroir, and craftsmanship in a wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":" Bottega Italia AU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44263894417505,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/7023\/1905\/files\/Lungarotti_Rubesco_Riserva_inPixio_2.png?v=1778477738"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/7023\/1905\/collections\/Umbria-Region-Italy_1.jpg?v=1778632473","url":"https:\/\/bottega-italia.com.au\/collections\/umbria.oembed","provider":" Bottega Italia Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
