Bistrot della Cantina In Torgiano

Nice place for lunch. The risotto is a big over cooked, the only plate we didn’t like so much, but our dog loves it! Liver pasta is great; antipasto mixture plate is great, with local cheese ham and salami. A very kid dog friendly place.

Of the Umbria that excels in the world, the Lungarotti company in Torgiano undoubtedly deserves a place of importance in the ranks of the agricultural sector and, first and foremost, in quality oenology. It all began at the end of the 1940s, thanks to the prophetic foresight of the knight, to say the least. Giorgio Lungarotti, it is with him that the valorisation of the vine, in this small and completely unknown terroir, has taken on considerable importance over the years. The rediscovery of native vines, together with innovative and complex production techniques, will lead the company to explore new horizons. The first tangible results were achieved in the second half of the Sixties, Lungarotti obtained the first DOC in the region for the white and red wines of Torgiano and the fifth in Italy, together with much more suitable regions such as Piedmont, Veneto and Lombardy. In the nineties the DOCG was followed for the Torgiano Rosso Riserva Vigna Monticchio cru. This is why I recommend the guided tour of the cellar, which among other things is completely free.

A sensational tour and tasting with Giulia. She shared a lot of interesting details regarding the wine making practices at Lungarotti and spoke eloquently about the exceptional wines we drank. Thank you for a great experience!

Visit with explanation in this historic company. My compliments.
