Tasting notes

An intense straw color with gold reflections. Bouquet of yellow-fleshed fruit and candied citrus, notes of spices (saffron, cinnamon) and balsamic hints of aromatic wood. It is a white wine with a dense and tight texture. It plays on freshness and dynamism while recognizing an important structure, noticeable above all in the long aromatic persistence of both ripe and dried fruit, oriental spices and woody notes.

Pairings

A deeply gastronomic wine, it requires pairing with food with an intense flavor, such as lake-fish or sea-fish with a particular fleshy texture, cooked on the grill or accompanied by spicy sauces.

Why we like it

It is kept aging for some months partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in 225-liter French oak barriques, followed by 6 more months of bottle-aging. Produced in extremely limited quantities, it is the result of many years of experience, and seeks to underline the full potential that the wines of Lugana are capable of attaining. In this case, its aging process highlights the evolution of a wine of great structure, obtained from the Estate’s oldest vineyards (with their extremely low yields).
