[3] Probably founded by the Etruscans, Torgiano is situated on a hill overlooking the confluence of the Chiascio and Tiber rivers.

[4] Within the DOC 160 ha (499 acres) in the nearby hills received a special designation to produce a DOCG red wine.

Grapes designated for this wine are further restricted to 10 tonnes/ha, a minimum alcohol level of 12.5% and must be aged at least 3 years prior to release.

Other sights include: Torgiano was the first winemaking area in Umbria to obtain the DOC mark (Denomination of Origin) in 1968.

One of the most inventive and progressive winemakers of Torgiano, Giorgio Lungarotti, together with his wife Maria Grazia, set up a foundation and conceived and created the Wine Museum, which opened in 1974 for the first time.
