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.

  • 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.
