L'Um' Bianco Lungarotti 2025
"L'Um" White from the Lungarotti winery is a white wine from Umbria, fresh and fragrant, perfect for pairing with delicate dishes on a daily basis. It is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Vermentino and briefly aged in steel. The color is brilliant straw yellow and the aromas released recall summer fresh fruit, white flowers, and light hints of hazelnut. The sip is agile, fresh, with excellent nose-palate correspondence and a balanced finish
The “L’U” Bianco by Lungarotti is the result of a balanced blend of two white grape varieties with great personality. The refined elegance of Chardonnay is combined with the fragrant fruity richness of Vermentino, which in the Torgiano area expresses a fresh and intense profile. The name on the label is a little play on words to emphasize the territorial character of the wine. The letters L’U symbolize both the region “l’Umbria” and the initials of the winery's name. A deep bond that has made the Lungarotti family a true ambassador of the territory.
The Bianco “L’U” is produced by a historic winery in Umbria. Lungarotti was one of the pioneers of the area, contributing significantly to the revival of Italian wine in the name of quality. The estate extends over more than 250 hectares, with properties in Torgiano and Montefalco. The Chardonnay and Vermentino vineyards are cultivated in a hilly area, on rather deep, medium-textured soils, with a predominantly clay matrix. At the end of the harvest operations, the grapes undergo cryomaceration and then pressed very gently. The free-run must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and before bottling, the wine matures for several months in steel tanks on the fine lees to acquire greater structure and aromatic richness.
The wine “L’U” Bianco, produced by the Umbrian winery Lungarotti, is a label with a youthful face and a direct and immediate taste. In the glass, it presents a beautiful light straw yellow color with bright and luminous reflections. The olfactory profile offers floral aromas of hawthorn, orange blossom, citrus notes, lemon and grapefruit zest, white fruit, peach, green apple, yellow melon, and hints of fresh almond. On the palate, it is pleasantly fruity, with fragrant and juicy aromas, which unfold harmoniously towards a fresh and savory finish, with great taste balance. Due to its taste characteristics, it is perfect to serve at the table to accompany appetizers, seafood first courses, and delicate fish second courses.
