Natalie's Score: 90/100

Produced by Cantine Giorgio Lungarotti, Lungarotti Rubesco 2018 is a powerful and muscular blend of Sangiovese and Colorino grapes sourced from the Umbria wine region. Full-bodied and intense with layers of dark berry, cherry, ripe plum, grilled herbs, nut, spice and dark chocolate flavours on the palate balanced with mouth-watering acidity. Tannins are firm and this wine demands a rich, meaty dish. Decant for a couple of hours prior to pouring it with a Hunter's stew or meaty lasagne.

Sangiovese Colorino food pairings: rich tomato and roasted Italian vegetables sauce over penne, beef stuffed tomatoes and peppers.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromas of red cherry, candied strawberries, mocha, and dried spices. Medium bodied with bright acidity on the palate, and some light, drying tannins. There are lots of bright, concentrated red berry notes on the palate, and some hints of dried herbs on the finish. Enjoy with charcuterie.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
