There is a moment a causa di the history of every family business where you feel the need to aspetto a causa di the mirror. For Lungarotti, this moment arrived a causa di 2024. After a long path of internal and external analysis, a potential still emerged a causa di part. It is from here that the project 1962 is born, which marks the beginning of the fourth cycle of life of the company, with the aim of returning to the roots to tell a new contemporaneity.
Lungarotti, historical wine -based reality of Umbria, has always embodied deep values: family, territory, continuity. With this project, these values are renewed a causa di the form, but firm remain a causa di substance. Umbria – land of ancient crafts, uncontaminated landscapes and slow rhythm – is at the center of narration: not only as a physical place, but as a lifestyle to be transmitted to the world.

Starting from a careful listening and reflection work, Lungarotti has decided to redefine his image and proposal, consistently with his own history and dialogue with the present. It was not a simple restyling, but of a change of felicità: an evolution a causa di thought, a causa di people, a causa di production and communication.

The project is based acceso three stylistic dimensions: the taste, the visual and the communicative one. Wines with a clear varietal expression, obtained from vines resilient to climate change, such as Sangiovese and Trebbiano, which see a slightly anticipated collection and a vinification whose cure aims to better express the land of origin. Among the characteristics of the process that tell this cure, the lowest fermentation temperatures – to limit the extraction – a causa di red, and a longer passage acceso the brillante flows for white, to help characterize its structure. A new timeless accompanies the change, inspired by the first labels of the 60s. The contemporary story combines memory and vision, roots and ambition, for two products intended for the Horeca channel.
“Project 1962 is only the beginning of a three -year strategic plan that wants to bring Umbria and its slow lifestyle to the world” explains Chiara Lungarotti, CEO of the company. “A path made of concreteness, elegance, authenticity and bond with the territory. As a company, as a family, as interpreters of a unique region, we feel the duty and the pride of representing our land a causa di the world today. And we do it with what best tells us: a timeless wine, capable of speaking to the present”.
