This Lugana Riserva, with its intense golden yellow colour, offers notes of candied citrus, yellow flowers and pronounced minerality. On the palate, it is soft, juicy and structured, balanced by a lively freshness that leads to a long and persistent finish. Ageing on the lees in steel and barrels gives the wine remarkable complexity and a strong propensity for ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this Lugana Riserva lie in the estate vineyards south of Lake Garda, in a naturally suited area around San Benedetto di Lugana.

The wine then matures for 16-18 months on fine lees, resting mainly in steel with a small portion in large barrels, tonneaux and barriques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMolceo by Ottella is a \u003cstrong\u003eLugana DOC Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e that embodies the dedication of four generations of the Montresor family.
