Lungarotti Rubesco Riserva Monticchio 1987 - 0,75l

Lungarotti Rubesco Riserva Monticchio 1987 is a rare and elegant Umbrian red, crafted from Sangiovese and Canaiolo and then given decades of bottle age to develop remarkable depth. A classic expression of Cantine Giorgio Lungarotti’s style, it combines structure, complexity, and the graceful maturity that collectors and lovers of aged Italian wine seek out.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, this wine shows the warm patina of age while still retaining impressive vibrancy. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with ripe dark fruit, spice, dried herbs, and subtle tobacco notes unfolding over time in the glass. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a refined balance of acidity and tannin that gives the wine both freshness and harmony. The finish is long, smooth, and savory, with enough structure to continue evolving gracefully for several more years.

Production
Produced in Umbria, where Lungarotti has long been one of the region’s defining estates, this wine reflects the character of a traditional Italian terroir shaped by rolling hills and a balanced continental climate. The grapes were harvested with care and vinified to preserve the natural structure and aromatic complexity of Sangiovese and Canaiolo, before extended maturation in bottle allowed the wine to soften and integrate.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for roasted red meats, game, braised dishes, and mature cheeses, where its depth and acidity can complement rich flavors beautifully. Serve at 18–20°C, and if the bottle has been stored well, open it ahead of time or decant gently to let the mature aromatics fully emerge.

Producer
Cantine Giorgio Lungarotti is one of Umbria’s most respected producers, instrumental in elevating the region’s reputation for high-quality wines. Founded by Giorgio Lungarotti and later shaped by the family’s continued commitment to excellence, the estate has earned recognition for combining tradition, terroir expression, and consistent quality across its wines.
