Description
Still white wine from Torgiano DOC, 12.5% ABV, produced by Lungarotti. Blend: 90% Chardonnay, 10% Grechetto. 0.75 L bottle, 2021 vintage. A wine that celebrates the union of Umbrian tradition and the elegance of Chardonnay, with a touch of Grechetto for added complexity. Founded in the 1960s by Giorgio Lungarotti, the winery has created a new and exciting dimension for Torgiano and Umbria as a whole. Ample and imposing in its aromatic complexity, it features elegant notes of tropical fruit, banana, and sage; subtle and balanced hints of oak and yellow flowers. Ample in structure, it is characterized by a delicate smoothness, vibrant acidity, and a delicately fruity finish; a long, slightly bitter finish.
