Curiosity: DOCG since 1990, with retroactive recognition starting from the 1983 harvest. Considered one of the best Italian reds, it is a profound wine expression of Umbria, its hills and its people with a perfect harmony between power and elegance. Rubesco is a fictional brand, deriving from the Latin verb rubescene, to blush: therefore a joyful meaning.
