Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG "Rubesco Vigna Monticchio" 2020 - Lungarotti

An Italian red wine from Torgiano, Umbria, with DOCG status since 1990, recognised retroactively from the 1983 vintage. Vinification takes place in steel, followed by maturation in barrels of various sizes for about a year, then about four years of bottle ageing. It is deep ruby. The nose recalls marasca cherry, blackberry, violet, menthol and spice. The palate is concentrated, fruity and slightly balsamic, with soft, velvety tannin and a long, persistent finish. It suits red meat roasts, braises and aged cheeses.
