Intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum preserve are layered with sweet baking spices, cedar, cocoa and subtle balsamic notes. The palate is concentrated and full-bodied, with ripe, velvety tannins supporting generous dark fruit, while vibrant acidity and refined oak bring freshness and remarkable poise to a long, persistent finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst released in 1977, \u003cem\u003eSan Giorgio\u003c\/em\u003e is widely regarded as Umbria's original \"Superumbrian\". Giorgio Lungarotti was among the first producers in Italy to recognise the potential of blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese, creating a wine that combined international structure with unmistakable Umbrian character. Today the wine is produced from an equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, grown on carefully selected hillside vineyards around Torgiano. Following an extended skin maceration in stainless steel, it is matured for 12 months in French barriques before spending at least one further year in bottle, allowing the wine to develop its impressive complexity and longevity. The label depicts Raphael's \u003cem\u003eSaint George and the Dragon\u003c\/em\u003e, paying tribute to the traditional St George's Day celebrations still observed among the vineyards of Torgiano. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Sangiovese\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red – Full-bodied, structured and age-worthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrink Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now – 20+ years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beef Wellington, roasted venison, wild boar ragù, grilled ribeye, braised short ribs and mature Pecorino\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost vintages of 'San Giorgio' score between 90 and 92 points with prominent wine writers\/publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA true icon of Umbrian winemaking, San Giorgio remains a beautifully composed red that combines the depth and longevity of a classic Bordeaux blend with the unmistakable soul of central Italy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lungarotti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48788167327976,"sku":"K546069","price":84.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0224\/6549\/files\/LungarottiSanGiorgioRosso2019.jpg?v=1785432917","url":"https:\/\/kenastonwine.com\/products\/lungarotti-san-giorgio-rosso","provider":"Kenaston Wine Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
