On the palate, its structure is expressed through balanced acidity and \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, accompanied by clear notes of red fruits, sweet spices and cinnamon, enriched by delicate toasted nuances. It finishes with a long and pleasantly peppery aftertaste. At the table, it is the ideal pairing for roast meats, legume soups and \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red is produced in the Montefalco area of Umbria, from vineyards cultivated under \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e methods. The vines grow on medium-textured soils with slight rocky components and a well-drained subsoil. Thanks to the south-west exposure and the careful \u003cstrong\u003edouble spur cordon\u003c\/strong\u003e training system, the grapes reach optimal ripeness, which gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e and the elegance typical of this terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification follows precise timings, with a staggered harvest of the different grape varieties. The must ferments in steel, undergoing \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e for about three weeks at a controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then rests for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and medium-toasted barriques, finishing with \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e to best enhance the complexity of its aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in the early 1960s, the company \u003cstrong\u003eCantine Giorgio Lungarotti\u003c\/strong\u003e continues the Umbrian winemaking excellence thanks to the dedication of the daughters Chiara and Teresa. The identity of this red wine is reflected in its \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric label\u003c\/strong\u003e, which depicts the estate and a majestic falcon, a noble tribute to Emperor Frederick II of Swabia. Interestingly, to protect the authenticity of the region, the law does not allow the \u003cstrong\u003emain grape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e to be mentioned in the name of the DOC, thus preserving an ancient and profound connection with local tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lungarotti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45557898903723,"sku":"58002","price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/lungarotti-montefalco-rosso-2022_58002_1_f32c6ad5-2362-453a-be0b-69a9bc034da2.webp?v=1773778751","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/lungarotti-montefalco-rosso-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
