Torgiano Rosso Riserva
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Recognized as a DOCG since 2006, Torgiano Rosso Riserva is a highly focused Umbrian denomination limited to just five verified producers within the single municipality of Torgiano. Unlike neighboring wine regions that offer standard tiers alongside aged versions, this classification exists exclusively as a Riserva. This singular focus demands rigorous patience, requiring a minimum of 36 months of total aging—of which at least 12 months must be spent in wood and 6 months in the bottle—before release. Composed of at least 70% Sangiovese, this dry, ruby-red wine must reach a minimum alcohol level of 12.5% vol, reflecting a highly disciplined approach to viticulture.
