Torgiano Rosso Riserva

Torgiano Rosso Riserva is an Italian DOCG appellation located around Torgiano, Perugia. The region produces complex and elegant red wines based on Sangiovese, which has to make a minimum of 70 %. Other permitted varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Canaiolo, and Colorino.

The wines are floral and fruity, with aromas that are reminiscent of violets, roses, cherries, and plums. These wines can age exceptionally well. As they age, they tend to develop jammy, toasty, and leather notes with hints of spice. On the palate, they are incredibly well structured, powerful, and round, with good acidity, freshness, and fine tannins.

Because of their complexity, Torgiano Rosso Riserva wines are best paired with rich meat dishes, meat ragus, and game. They are a good pairing with mushrooms and truffles.
