San Giorgio di Lungarotti is an important red, with a good structure and with a considerable potential for evolution over time. It is considered the first true Superumbrian. It is customary to use this type of definition, with the name of the region of origin of the wine, preceded by the suffix Super, to indicate wines produced from blends in which international vines are also present, in particular Bordeaux. San Giorgio was born in 1977 from the skilful union of the native vines of central Italy, Sangiovese and a small percentage of Canaiolo, with the noble Cabernet Sauvignon. Thanks to the perfect balance between the three varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon does not dominate the other grapes, but integrates perfectly, enriching their aromatic profile.omatico.
- Method : To produce San Giorgio wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes are harvested in mid-September. The vines are cultivated with spurred cordon, with low yields and on the most suitable soils for each variety. Cabernet Sauvignon is planted on medium-textured soils, with a good presence of skeleton and limestone, which insist on a tuff subsoil. Sangiovese comes from the Monticchio area, where it is grown on soils characterized by the presence of clays and sands. Fermentation takes place in steel, with maceration on the skins lasting 25/28 days. This is followed by an aging period of 12 months in barrique and at least 6 months in the bottle.
- Features : Rosso San Giorgio represents a successful interpretation of the union between local grapes and Cabernet Sauvignon. In the glass it shows a ruby red color, intense and brilliant. The nose is complex, with ripe aromas of red berry fruit, jam, soft spices and distant balsamic hints. On the palate it immediately denotes a broad and deep structure, with rich and concentrated aromas, which already show a good evolution towards elegant tertiary notes. The tannic texture is fine and the freshness pleasantly balanced. The finish is long and persistent..
- Pairings : A great red to bring to the table with roasts, braised meats or game, game, spicy cheeses.
