The Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG is produced in Torgiano, Perugia.
Torgiano is a castrum that owes its rebuilding on Roman ruins to its strategic position and the guarantee of supply of the Perugian markets, offered by the fertility of the plains and the wine and olive growing vocation of the hills. The flatlands are excellent for cereals, vegetables, fruit, textile fibre plants. The rich silt deposits, the fresh earth for the clay, the average altitude of 300 – 400 m above sea level, the sunny exposure of the ridge that connects Torgiano to Brufa – the medieval Castel Grifone, a contemporary castle of Poggio – make the hilly area the ideal environment for the cultivation of vines and olive trees.
After long centuries of alternating historical events, with the affirmation of the new world of viticulture, Torgiano aligned itself with the most famous Italian wine-growing areas, receiving first in Umbria, the recognition of the Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC) on October 27, 1978. It became DOCG on October 20, 1990.
