torgiano |
| TORGIANO , 8km north, is the last worthwhile stop before Perugia. It's a fairly dull town but is home to a great little museum and Umbria's finest wines , the latter produced by Giorgio Lungarotti, one of the new breed of Italian producers and now something of a national celebrity. The unexpectedly interesting wine museum in Corso Vittorio Emanuele II in the Palazzo Graziani-Baglioni (daily: summer 9am-1pm & 3-7pm; winter closes 6pm; L5000/¬2.58), offers a varied and comprehensive look at every aspect of viticulture and the best non-liquid reason for a visit. Any bottle with his name should be good, but particular wines to look out for include Lungarotti's Rubesco, Torre di Giano, Chardonnay and Castel Grifone; an excellent selection of wines are sold at good prices in the adjacent enoteca , and in shops and restaurants across Umbria and beyond. |
