Rubesco Riserva Vigna Monticchio is Lungarotti’s Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG from the Monticchio vineyard near Torgiano, Umbria. Made from Sangiovese, it comes from one of the labels that helped give Umbrian red wine a place among Italy’s most respected bottles. The first vintage was 1964, and the wine is produced only in the best years.

This is not a generic Umbrian red. Vigna Monticchio is built for depth, balance and long aging, with a clear link to a single vineyard and to Lungarotti’s history. The 2020 vintage has an intense ruby red colour, with notes of sour cherry, small red berries, liquorice, cinnamon and a light mineral edge. On the palate it is full and concentrated, with persistent tannins and a long finish.

When to choose it

Choose it for an important dinner, for cellaring, or as an Umbrian alternative to better-known Sangiovese reds from Tuscany. Serve at 16 to 18 °C, preferably opened in advance or decanted. It pairs well with roast meats, game, red meat dishes, black truffle, aged cheeses and rich Italian recipes.

It is a strong choice for customers who want a red wine with history, structure and a clear sense of place, without choosing the most predictable Italian names.
