Lugana DOC Riserva

For over three generations, we have studied and selected the local Turbiana variety, breeding and grafting it from mother vines for over 100 years. The Lugana Doc Riserva, in limited edition, with numbered bottles, confirms the character of these grapes which have been cultivated in our area for centuries. One can now appreciate its innate mineral quality and complexity, confirming the importance of the clays that are typical of the Lugana territory. It is an authentic, harmonious wine of great longevity. True expression of the combination between vine variety and terroir, it was born in the historical family vineyards with the highest clay concentration. The accurate wine making process is followed by a slow fermentation at controlled temperature and by a long ageing period on yeasts, which give this wine personality and elegance. In stainless steel containers, under temperature control, 18°C, after brief maceration. Fermentation is carried out by natural yeasts, long “sur lie” phase of at least 12 months. A small portion of wine ages for a brief period of time in new oak barrels. It is an authentic, harmonious wine of great longevity. a harmony of balsamic notes and candied cedar.
