Straw yellow colour ranging from pale to deep depending on the stage of ageing. The nose is intensely complex with notes of exotic fruit and citrus. On the palate, it is smooth, elegant and persistently mineral.
TASTING NOTES
Often taking place in October and November, the third harvest of the year is dedicated to Lugana Riserva del Lupo. From the controlled late harvest, we obtain grapes with noble botrytis from which we can extract all the minerality of our soils, which were once part of the bed of Lake Garda. It is then aged in steel tanks and for at least six months in bottles at a constant temperature in our cellar, which is located below lake level.
Pairings
