Lungarotti Winery, a partner of the Umbra Institute, recently presented its wines at the Girl and Fig restaurant in Sonoma County in the Bay Area. Lungarotti, a leader in Umbrian winemaking since 1961, has been recognized in the American press not only as a maker of high-quality wines, but also (with an article in the New York Times) for its Wine Museum and Oil Museum in the historic hilltown of Torgiano, just a few miles from Perugia.
Starting in May 2012, students who participate in the Umbra Institute’s Food Studies Program will be able to do an internship at Lungarotti, helping the winery with its website and communications.
