Organoleptic characteristics
On the palate, it fully reveals its complexity, which is also due to its ageing in 25 hl oak barrels. The nose reveals hints of ripe fruit with balsamic notes. The palate is completely enveloped by a full structure, accompanied by a tense acidity and characteristic sapidity.
TASTING NOTES
Lugana Superiore Ca' Lojera is the result of a deliberate choice: ageing in wood, which gives the wine breadth, softness and depth. Made from 100% Turbiana grapes, hand-picked from low-yield vineyards, it is produced in Sirmione on the southern shores of Lake Garda, which is why this wine best expresses the minerality of the soils from which it comes. It ferments and ages in oak barrels for over two years, followed by further ageing in the bottle. In the glass, it is golden yellow, with intense aromas of citrus, ripe fruit and vanilla. The palate is elegant, mineral and persistent, ideal with cheeses, cold cuts and traditional hot dishes.
Pairings
Perfect with risottos, fish soups, baked white meats, mature or blue cheeses.
