Lungarotti is a family winery in Umbria, run today by the sisters Chiara and Teresa, their mother Maria Grazia and the nephews Francesco and Gemma. About one hundred people work there.
The family has two main bases. Tenuta Brancalupo in Montefalco is a boutique estate of 16 hectares. Its wines use Sagrantino, Sangiovese, Merlot and Trebbiano Spoletino. The Pometo wines include Grechetto, Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese.
The Torgiano estate has two museums, MUVIT for wine and MOO for olive oil. There is also a balsamic vinegar workshop, which has made its condiment since 1980 using the traditional Modena method. Lungarotti was the ninth Italian organisation to earn V.I.V.A. certification and the first in Umbria.
