Product notes

A DOC wine since 1968, it is Lungarotti’s most popular wine worldwide. Rubesco is a proprietary brand, derived from the Latin verb rubescere; to blush: hence, a joyous meaning.

Fermented in stainless steel with 15 days of skin maceration; aged one year in cask and one in bottle, after a light filtering.
