Characteristics of the San Giorgio Lungarotti

San Giorgio Umbria IGT wine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Compact garnet with an edge that recalls ruby. The nose is deep, articulated, with a start of dark fruits in alcohol and candied orange peel, followed by cinnamon, juniper berries, caramel, cocoa, coffee grounds, leather and an ethereal finish. Enveloping and intense on the palate, it shows a good cohesion of all the gustatory components, with a nice balance, smooth tannins and a savory trail that accompanies the sip until the end.
