CHARACTERISTICS
A Lugana of great character, deep yellow with golden highlights, robust yet velvety. The grapes are carefully selected from vineyards over 55 years old. It offers a particularly rich bouquet in which cool, mineral notes blend harmoniously with ripe fruit. Its rich aroma, with hints of hazelnut and an elegant almond finish, makes it a great match not only for fish but also for pasta dishes, grilled meat, risottos and cheeses.
