Umbria Rosso IGT
The year 2012 marks an important, two-fold birthday. Lungarotti celebrates its transformation from farm to winery and the birth of Rubesco, its iconic red. This wine, “50”, is being released in 2012 in its first, exclusive edition to mark the double celebration and bear witness to Lungarotti’s ongoing research and innovation. Nature, terroir, experimentation and viticultural selection are the backbone of this extremely charming and unique blend.

- ancedoteAnecdotes: an exclusive edition to celebrate the half-century mark: it’s not a coincidence, therefore, that 1962 magnums were produced. “50” bears the history of the future: the vision of Giorgio, the founder, and the enthusiasm and passion of all of us who now continue his mission. It proudly displays the power and elegance of a young adult.
