Description
What kind of wine it is
Lungarotti Torre di Giano Vigna Il Pino is a still white wine from Umbria, specifically from the Torgiano area. This blend of Grechetto, Trebbiano and Vermentino offers a deep and harmonious profile. Partial maturation on fine lees in wooden barrels, combined with ageing in stainless steel, gives the wine great balance. On the nose, it opens with notes of yellow peach and citrus, enriched by delicate boisé hints. On the palate, it stands out for its vibrant citrusy acidity and clear references to white fruit, finishing with a long, savoury and mineral aftertaste, enhanced by light herbal touches.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates in Umbria, in the heart of Torgiano, from the renowned Il Pino vineyard situated on a hillside. The rows are located at around two hundred and thirty metres above sea level with a western exposure, a condition that favours ideal ripening, balancing freshness and structure. The vines sink their roots into clay soil with a pronounced calcareous subsoil, a natural matrix that imparts its unmistakable savouriness to the palate. The vineyard's name pays homage to the majestic centuries-old pine tree that has long dominated the landscape, marking the location of the vineyard.
How it is produced
The Grechetto, Trebbiano and Vermentino grapes are harvested between August and September and undergo gentle pressing. Part of the free-run must undergoes cryo-maceration, then ferments and matures on fine lees in wooden barrels. The remaining portion is vinified in stainless steel. In spring, the blend is assembled, followed by careful bottle ageing lasting one or two years. This period of rest is essential to stabilise the elegant aromatic purity and ensure maximum flavour retention.
History and Curiosities
The result of Giorgio Lungarotti's vision, this Umbrian white wine embodies over a century of dedication to the land. The Vigna Il Pino vineyard takes its name from the majestic centuries-old tree that watched over its rows until 2020, inspiring a label that celebrates the historic Fontana Maggiore of Perugia. A pioneer in the 1970s among the first Italian whites to undergo wood ageing, it stands out for its extremely elegant structure. The excellent flavour profile is sealed by a score of 93/100, confirming a legacy of absolute prestige.
