Lugana Superiore DOC 2021

  Ca' Lojera Lugana Superiore captivates with an impressive combination of origin and craftsmanship: made from the indigenous Turbiana grape variety, selectively hand-picked from clay-rich soils around Sirmione, this wine is aged in large 25-hectoliter oak barrels and regularly revitalized through bâtonnage. The distinctive soil structure of the morainic hills around Lake Garda gives it a striking minerality, paired with a structure designed for longevity - a white wine that is not only made for immediate enjoyment, but also scores with ripe aromas and poise.

In the glass, Lugana Superiore displays a bright straw yellow color with subtle greenish hues—a visual foreshadowing of its lively elegance. The nose reveals notes of grapefruit, peach, and mandarin, paired with hints of toasted almonds and a delicate salty minerality that evokes the lake terroir. On the palate, this wine reveals a dense texture, lively fruit, and a clear structure: the minerality keeps the freshness in play, while the finish remains long and elegant. A wine that is both a fine accompaniment to risotto, white meat, or aged cheese, and shines on its own in the glass - wonderfully combining origin, style, and depth. - Gerardo [TS10/22]
