Lungarotti Supertuscan Blend Umbria IGT San Giorgio 2007

Winemaker's Notes:

Feine, vielschichtige Frucht-, Gewürz- und Ausbauaromen in der Nase, samtige Gerbstofftextur in Kombination mit einer fruchtigen, feinen Struktur im Gaumen-so präsentiert sich die weltweit bekannteste Assemblage von LUNGAROTTI. Im Finale zeigt er viele Aspekte und ist zugleich lang und gefällig. Dieser Rubesco bringt das Terroir und die Rebsorten schön zum Ausdruck.

Youthful and mouthwatering on the nose with a wonderful combination of ripe wild red fruits with hints of minty herbs, soil, and red apple peels. Medium bodied and elegant in the mouth with nice rich red cherry fruit up front followed by bright cranberry highlights. The tannins are modest but lightly brushy in the mouth, highlighting a slight herbal accent that pops on the minerally finish. 87pts

Lovely aromatics of amarena cherry, dried citron peel, soil, faint green herbs, cigarette ash and chalky spice greet the nose here. This is broad in the mouth and rather rich, yet it has a very fine and apparent structure. The mid-palate shows off some black currant fruit along with a hint of truffle, some black cherry tones and a little orange oil. This comes off as somewhat supple but that’s due more to the harmony of fruit and structure, because this is ultimately quite firm. The finish here shows real length with fine mineral cut and lovely raspberry and amarena cherry flavors. This is a very complete package. Mineral finish shows excellent persistence. 91pts

Deep cherry and plum notes on the nose with a little bit of baked fruits leading into a smooth palette with a bit of funkiness! Definitely can sense the canaiolo!

This blend is a great balance of fruit and floral. Dark berries with violet and lilac, very smooth and balanced. Nothing overpowers the other. And for THAT price?

Spice and herbs and a bit of licorice. Smooth mouth feel and some fruity notes.

"Lungarotti Rubesco 2007 is a red with balanced body and a fine ruby color. Its aromas are typically spicy and consist of pepper and sweet tobacco; the background notes hint at jam and violet. A pleasant drink ability with good concentration
