Perugia wine and wine tours

As of September 15 not just good wine but also lots of electricity from the wine cellars of Giorgio Lungarotti in Torgiano (Perugia), among the more important names in oenology in Umbria and in Italy. This wine cellar is also participating in the Sabato on Wine initative where their wine cellars will be open for tasting - - check out the site for more names in Tuscany
SABATO ON WINE

Lungarotti have put into action one of the first of its kind, a generator which will function using the scraps and leftovers from the vineyards. The project, a collaboration among wine cellars, the Minister for the Agriculture and the Center for Research of “Biomasses” from the University of Perugia, will produce 720 mwh / per year.

That is to say 100% of the thermal consumption for the wine cellar : hot water, heating, vapour for the sterilizing of the bottles, cold water for the air conditioning for the summer and water for the refrigeration of the vats for the fermentation. The system will also be capable of covering at least 30% of the electrical consumption for the refrigerators. The goal is to arrive at full energy independence.

We had a wonderful time meeting your friends, seeing the beautiful countryside, and enjoying the great wine. We look forward to telling our many friends about you and your great services, and hopefully we can work with you on a villa at some point in the future.

Darren and Anna wrote.... Our favorite moment by far Guido, and we're not kidding, the best experience of our lives to date was our day with you. We will remember this day forever, and we're telling people back home mostly of that day, so it really meant a lot to us you brought us there. Thank you so much!

Christina with her great experience and knowledge of the area put together an unforgettable experience which satisfied several of my interests including food, wine, art, culture, and walks through the countryside. Guido added even more to the experience with his local knowledge, contacts, positive energy, and his light hearted and friendly manner. The small group of women that Christina put together for this trip couldn't have been better. She is very sensitive to the needs of the group and obviously has the respect of her many terrific contacts in this region."
