The Story

An elegant wine with solid structure, deep ruby colour and complex aroma that recalls marasca cherries and blackberries, followed by notes of violet, light mentholated hints and a spicy finish. A wine of great concentration, fruity and slightly balsamic, it has soft and velvety tannins with a long, lingering finish.

Grape varietals

Sangiovese from the Monticchio vineyard; double spurred cordon pruning system, harvested in October

Written Notes

Intense ruby colour with garnet hue. Balmy nose with mild spices, Garam Masala, backed by prunes and dried figs, fragrant mulberries and raspberries, cedar wood and hints of gingerbread. A whiff of fading roses in the background. On the palate quoting the flavour of the nose, firm yet ripe tannins, mild acidity, excellent length.

Inside Information

A DOCG wine since 1990 with retroactive recognition back to the 1983 vintage. Considered one of Italy’s best red wines, it is a profound expression of Umbria, of its hillsides and its people, with a perfect harmony between power and elegance. Rubesco is a proprietary trademark deriving from the Latin verb rubescere, to blush: hence, a joyous meaning. On the label, a bas-relief depicting the harvest, detail from the Fontana Maggiore of Perugia, one of Italy’s most beautiful 13th-century fountains.
