The company maintains a strong family imprint characterized by a respect for the values that tie together history, tradition and the land. The Lungarotti Group is currently directed by Chiara Lungarotti e Teresa Severini, while Maria Grazia Lungarotti successfully heads and manages the Lungarotti Foundation.

Founded in the early 60's by Giorgio Lungarotti, the company soon became a driving force that opened up new opportunities not only for Torgiano but for the whole of Umbria too: wine as the centerpiece of a very high quality touristic and productive center, and cornerstone of a highly integrated promotional tool for the whole region.
