Voluto e realizzato da Giorgio Lungarotti con la moglie Maria Grazia, il Museo del Vino è stato aperto al pubblico nel 1974 ed è oggi gestito dalla Fondazione Lungarotti. Ha sede presso il borgo di Torgiano, nella pars agricola del monumentale palazzo Graziani-Baglioni, dimora estiva gentilizia del XVII secolo.
Il percorso museale, sviluppato lungo venti sale, propone oltre 2800 manufatti, esposti secondo criteri museografici moderni e di grande rigore scientifico.
Oltre al Museo del Vino la Fondazione Lungarotti cura anche il Museo dell’Olivo e dell’Olio, sempre a Torgiano.

Il Museo del Vino
Reperti archeologici (brocche cicladiche e vasi hittiti; ceramiche greche, etrusche e romane; vetri e bronzi), attrezzi e corredi tecnici per la viticoltura e la vinificazione, contenitori vinari in ceramica di età medioevale, rinascimentale, barocca e contemporanea, incisioni e disegni dal XV al XX secolo, edizioni colte di testi su viticoltura ed enologia, manufatti di arte orafa, tessuti ed altre testimonianze di “arti minori” documentano l’importanza del vino nell’immaginario collettivo dei popoli che hanno abitato nel corso dei millenni il bacino del Mediterraneo e l’Europa continentale. A partire dal mondo antico, vite, uva e vino, elementi portanti nella economia agricola di quei popoli, hanno alternato a valenze puramente economiche usi e significati religiosi e profani. Dai tempi più remoti fino ad oggi, il loro ricorrere nelle arti e nei mestieri è costante, sia come spunto iconografico, sia a scopo produttivo. Le singole raccolte presenti al museo propongono il tema vitivinicolo e bacchico come filo conduttore per la lettura delle vicende storiche delle quali i singoli oggetti divengono espressione.
Nella sezione archeologica, rivestono particolare interesse la kylix con iscrizione firmata da Phrinos, esponente del Gruppo dei Piccoli Maestri, bell’esempio di ceramica attica, databile VI secolo a.C. e l’elegante askós bronzeo di area vesuviana, risalente al I secolo d.C..
La collezione di ceramiche valorizza una delle attività che maggiormente hanno caratterizzato la cultura artistica umbra; tra le numerose opere, tutte rappresentative di scuole e tecniche, degna di nota è la grande hydria del XIV secolo con centauro leontiforme e sirena e la fiasca da parata urbinate, proveniente dalla bottega di Orazio Fontana, che presenta nell’ornato una esemplare “composizione” di soggetti tratti da Raffaello e Giulio Romano. Nella vetrina dei piatti rinascimentali istoriati, risalta L’infanzia di Bacco di Mastro Giorgio Andreoli. Tratto da incisione di Marcantonio Raimondi su idea di Raffaello, presenta colori particolarmente vivi, con iridescenze di grande suggestione, risultato della laboriosa tecnica del lustro. Nella sezione vino-medicina, vasi da farmacia – di tipologie e centri produttivi differenti – sono affiancati ad edizioni d’epoca di testi medici. Il percorso ceramico si conclude con una collezione di opere moderne, tra cui il Dionysos Eydendros di Joe Tylson e La Baccante firmata da Nino Caruso.
La collezione di incisioni offre numerosi motivi di interesse: si apre con un Baccanale di Andrea Mantegna (XV secolo) e mostra lo svolgersi del tema dionisiaco lungo i secoli e la fortuna dell’allegoria della vite nella cristianità presso gli incisori più rappresentativi del manierismo. A documentare le tecniche di vinificazione, sopra tutti l’imponente torchio eugubino a trave, della tipologia detta “di Catone”, per la descrizione fattane dall’agronomo romano tra il II e il I secolo a.C.

The Wine Museum
Archeological finds (Cycladic jugs and Hittite vases; Greek, Etruscan and Roman ceramics; glassware and bronze pieces) technical equipment and sets for viticulture and vinification, ceramic wine vessels from the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and contemporary periods, engravings and drawings from the 15th to 20th centuries, learned texts on viticulture and enology, artifacts of goldsmithery, weaving and other pieces representing the applied arts, all document the importance of wine in the collective imagery of the civilizations that over the millennia have lived in the Mediterranean basin and continental Europe. Starting back in antiquity, the vine, grapes and wine, essential elements in the agricultural economy of these peoples, have alternated between purely economic values and the religious and profane traditions and meanings
. From the most remote era to today, their recurrence in arts and crafts is constant, either as a symbol for inspiration or for productive reasons. The individual collections in the museum propose the theme of viticulture and Bacchus as a leitmotiv for reading the historical events which the individual pieces depict.
In the archeological section, the most interesting piece is the Kylix with an inscription signed by Phrinos, a member of the Group of Minor Masters, a lovely example of Attic ceramics, datable to the 6th century B.C. and the elegant Askós in bronze from the Vesuvian area, dating back to the 1st century A.D.
The ceramics collection highlights one of the crafts that have most importantly characterized Umbria’s artistic heritage; among the many pieces on display, all of which represent different schools and techniques, of particular note is the large 14th century hydria with a lion-shaped centaur and a mermaid, as well as the pilgrim’s flask from Urbino, from the workshop of Orazio Fontana, whose ornate decoration includes a composition of subjects from Raffaello and Giulio Romano. In the display case with historiated renaissance plates, the plate called “L’Infanzia di Bacco / The childhood of Bacchus” by Mastro Giorgio Andreoli stands out. Inspired by an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi from an idea of Raphael, it has particularly vivid colours and evocative iridescence resulting from the difficult luster-ware technique. In the section wine and medicine, apothecary vases – of various types and production areas – are matched with antique medical texts. The ceramics portion closes with a collection of modern works, among which are Dionysos Eydendros by Joe Tylson and La Baccante by Nino Caruso.
The engravings collection offers many points of interest: starting with a Bacchanalia by Andrea Mantegna (15th century) the collection shows the evolution of the dionysian theme over the centuries and the fortunes of the vineyard allegory in Christianity with the most representative engravers of Mannerism. The piece which emblematically represents vinification techniques is the imposing horizontal beam press from Gubbio using the so-called Caton principal, from the description made by this Roman agronomist in the 2nd-1st. century B.C.

Voulu et réalisé par Giorgio Lungarotti et sa femme Maria Grazia, le Musée du Vin a été ouvert au public en 1974 et il est aujourd’hui géré par la Fondation Lungarotti. Son siège est à Torgiano, dans la partie agricole du monumental palais Graziani-Baglioni, résidence d’été noble au XVII siècle.
Le parcours du musée, développé tout au long de vingt salles, offre plus de 2800 oeuvres, exposées selon des critères muséographiques modernes et de grande rigueur scientifique.
En plus de le Musée du Vin Lungarotti Fondation possède le Musée de l’Huile d’Olive, toujours dans la ville
de Torgiano.

Le Musée du Vin
Des restes archéologiques (broques cycladiques et vases; céramiques grecques, étrusques et romaines; verres et bronzes), outils et équipements techniques pour la viticulture et la vinification, conteneurs en céramique de l’ère médiévale, de la Renaissance, baroque et contemporaine, incisions et dessins du XV au XX siècles, éditions de textes sur la viticulture et l’enologie, oeuvres d’art orfèvre, tissus et autres témoignages “d’arts mineurs” documentent l’importance du vin dans l’imaginaire collectif des peuples qui ont habité au cours des siècles le bassin de la Méditerranée et l’Europe continentale. A partir du monde antique, vignes, raisin et vin, éléments porteurs de l’économie agricole de ces peuples, ont contribué aux usages religieux et profanes. Des temps les plus anciens jusqu’à aujourd’ui, leur évocation dans les arts et métiers est constante, aussi bien comme sujet iconographique qu’à but purement productif. Les récoltes présentes au musée ont comme fil conducteur le thème viticole et de Baccus pour la lecture des événements historiques dont les objets deviennent l’expression.
Dans la section archéologique, la kylix avec expression signée par Phrinos revêt un intérêt particulier, provenant du Groupe des Petits Maîtres, bel exemple de céramique attique, que l’on peut dater du VI siècle avant Jésus-Christ et l’élégant askós en bronze de la zone vésuvienne, remontant au I siècle après Jésus-Christ.
La collection de céramiques valorise l’une des activités qui a le plus caractérisé la culture artistique ombrienne; parmi les nombreuses oeuvres, toutes représentatives d’écoles et de techniques, la grande « hydria » du XIV siècle est digne d’intérêt, avec centaure et sirène, provenant de la boutique d’Orazio Fontana, qui présente une exemplaire “composition” de sujets tirés de Raffaello et Giulio Romano. Dans la vitrine des assiettes renaissance ressort L’enfance de Bacchus du Maître Giorgio Andreoli. Tiré d’une gravure de Marcantonio Raimondi sur une idée de Raffaello, elle présente des couleurs particulièrement vives, avec des iridescents très sugestives, résultat de la grande technique du lustre. Dans la section vin-médecine, des vases de parmacie – de typologies et centres de production différents – se trouvent à côté d’éditions d’époque de textes de médecine. Le parcours des céramiques se conclue par une collection d’oeuvres modernes, parmi lesquelles le Dionysos Eydendros de Joe Tylson et La Bacchante signée par Nino Caruso.
La collection de gravures offre de nombreux intérêts: elle s’ouvre sur un Bacchanale d’Andrea Mantegna (XV siècle) et montre le développement du thème dionysiaque au cours des siècles et la fortune de l’allégorie de la vigne dans la christianité auprès des graveurs les plus représentatifs du maniérisme. Documentant les techniques de vinification, il faut surtout noter l’imposant pressoir de Gubbio, appartenant à la typologie dite “de Catone”, pour la description qu’en a faite l’agronome romain entre le II et le I siècles avant Jésus-Christ.
