Spoleto Trebbiano DOC - Lungarotti

In a pale straw yellow with silver highlights, the Spoleto Trebbiano DOC - Lungarotti glides into the glass, immediately revealing its elegant personality. Fine bubbles along the rim emphasize its youthful freshness and lend the wine a radiant brilliance. Even with the first swirl, subtle yeast notes rise, reminiscent of warm brioche fresh from the oven and conveying a sense of modern classicism.

On the nose, it unfolds with a precise, clear aromatic profile. Delicate citrus notes of ripe lemon combine with cool minerality reminiscent of wet stone and calcareous soils. Behind this lie subtle hints of white flowers, discreet green apple peel and a touch of almond skin. The yeast aromas lend volume and depth without masking the wine’s delicate freshness.

On the palate, the wine displays an unfussy, dry style with a straight, focused opening. Its lively acidity carries the citrus aromas across the entire length, while the mineral character provides a cool, clear impression. The texture is silky, almost creamy, accompanied by the delicate richness of brioche notes. A finely structured body that unites tension and elegance in perfect balance.

• Colour: pale straw yellow, silver highlights, brilliant clarity
• Nose: brioche, lemon, white flowers, cool minerality
• Palate: dry, lively acidity, silky, mineral-driven
• Finish: clear, citrus-fresh, discreetly yeasty aftertaste

The acidity is precise and linear, without any harshness, underscoring the wine’s refreshing character. Tannins are not noticeably present in this single-variety Trebbiano, allowing the focus to remain entirely on freshness, minerality and aromatic clarity. The style reflects a modern, clearly interpreted Italian white wine that is convincing both on its own and as a food companion.

Trebbiano is one of Italy’s most traditional light-skinned grape varieties and displays a particularly clear, vibrant profile in Umbria. The grapes for the Spoleto Trebbiano DOC - Lungarotti come from the hills surrounding Spoleto, where the interplay of elevation, sunlight and cool nights encourages slow ripening that preserves the aromas. This origin shapes the wine’s distinctive freshness and linear minerality.

4. Expression: citrus fruit, brioche, calcareous precision

With its DOC status, the wine acts as an authentic ambassador of its origin. The controlled designation of origin guarantees a clear regional character and highlights Spoleto’s special position as a terroir for distinguished Trebbiano.

Production of Lungarotti’s Spoleto Trebbiano DOC

The grapes for the Spoleto Trebbiano DOC - Lungarotti come from carefully selected vineyards in the heart of Umbria. The climate features warm, sunny days and pleasantly cool nights, allowing the grapes to preserve their aromatic finesse. The hills around Spoleto are characterised by calcareous, partly clay-rich soils that give the wine its distinctive minerality and firm structure.

The grapes are harvested with precision and close attention to optimal ripeness. Only sound, aromatically concentrated fruit reaches Lungarotti’s winery. Harvesting takes place in several passes so that only fully ripe grapes enter the fermentation process. This produces a wine with clear fruit, precise acidity and pronounced finesse.

In the cellar, Lungarotti employs a gentle maturation process that emphasises the varietal character of Trebbiano. Soft pressing preserves the grapes’ delicate aromas. Fermentation takes place under temperature control in stainless-steel tanks, allowing the citrus notes and cool minerality to emerge with particular clarity. The period on the lees in tank lends the wine its light brioche note and subtle richness on the palate.

• Gentle hand-harvesting of selected grapes
• Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless-steel tanks
• Gentle contact with fine lees for greater structure
• Focus on clarity, freshness and terroir character

The style of the Lungarotti winery is expressed in this Spoleto Trebbiano as a union of tradition and modern precision. For decades, the Lungarotti family has worked with consistent care in the vineyard and cellar, focusing on a clear, elegant interpretation of regional grape varieties. The aim is a wine that displays its origin authentically while remaining contemporary, precise and approachable.

In this way, the Spoleto Trebbiano DOC - Lungarotti accompanies both spontaneous evenings and carefully planned moments of enjoyment with assured elegance.
