A delicious, value-priced red, the 2009 Rubesco is laced with sweet cherries, tobacco, anise and leather. The aromas and flavors build nicely in the glass as this radiant, polished wine shows off its considerable personality. This is a terrific wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019.
Lungarotti is one of Umbria’s most historic wineries. The strengths in this range remain the classics, while the newer additions to the lineup continue to show improvement.
