Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG
An elegant wine with solid structure, a deep ruby colour and complex aroma that recalls marasca cherries and blackberries, followed by notes of violet, light mentholated hints and a spicy finish.
A wine of great concentration, fruity and slightly balsamic, it has soft and velvety tannins with a long, lingering finish.

- vinificationFermented in stainless steel with skin maceration for 15-20 days, barrique aged for one year and bottle aged for several years. On average the wine is suited for aging 30-35 years

- anecdotesA DOCG wine since 1990 with retroactive recognition back to the 1983 vintage, it is a great classic that in the past few years has acquired renewed vigour that elegantly speaks using its traditional language of balance and harmony. Rubesco is a proprietary trademark deriving from the Latin verb rubescere, to blush: hence, a joyous meaning.
On the label, a bas-relief depicting the harvest, detail from the Fontana Maggiore of Perugia, Italy’s most beautiful 13th-century fountain.
