Lugana Riserva | Classic

As everyone knows, the 'Lugana DOC' denotes a dry white wine which has a 'controlled denomination of origin' since 1967. In addition, there is another gradation with the Lugana Riserva, which is precisely regulated by the production regulations: To be allowed to bear the addition Riserva, the Lugana must have a maturation period of at least 24 months, of which at least six months on the bottle.

This refining process gives a golden yellow white wine with amber tendencies with aging. The smell is delicate, pleasant and characteristic of this wine. On the palate it is soft, dry and harmonious with the least possible wood tones.

The Lugana appellation was founded in 1967 and developed in the moraine plain south of Lake Garda, on the ridge between Brescia and Verona, at the crossroads between Lombardy and Veneto, between the clay plain and the limestone hills.

From the castle of Sirmione to the tower of San Martino, from the promontory on Lake Garda to the gentle slopes of Pozzolengo, the Latin poet Catullus sings of the wine that owes its longevity and structure to the Turbiana grape, a local variety of Trebbiano whose production has been shown to have roots in the 18th century, a century of enlightenment and upheaval. A wine with a complex bouquet and a round, persistent finish. - Gerardo [TS02/23]




´Molceo´ · Lugana Riserva DOC 2020, Ottella, Venetien

Molceo · Lugana Riserva DOC 2020


Ottella, Veneto

Lugana Riserva Molceo is vinified from late-harvested Trebbiano di Lugana grapes and then aged for one year in barrique barrels. The color is a clear golden yellow. The aroma is flattering with notes of exotic fruits, flowers and spices. The bouquet is further accented by some vanilla and honey aromas, which become more pronounced as the wine matures. Soft and lively on the palate, with a creamy texture and fine mineral components. Always of fascinating length. - Gerardo [TS02/21]

"Yellow peach, pear, mineral, Alpine herbs and almond jump out of the glass. The elegant but structured palate delivers a great depth of flavors alongside crisp acidity. It's already delicious but will also develop more complexity over the next few years." - Wine Enthusiast

"Sparkling, intense straw yellow. Opens with notes of almond paste, baked apple and a touch of cinnamon. On the palate good juicy, ripe fruit, salty and deep, finishing with a slight bitter note, but well integrated." - Falstaff
