Description
Still white Lugana DOC, 13% ABV, produced by Ottella, a historic Veronese winery founded in 1960 by the Montresor family. 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A Lugana born in the heart of the appellation, from Turbiana grapes grown in the Le Creete vineyard, characterized by a high white clay content. Enveloping on the nose with immediate exotic aromas of pineapple and notes of grapefruit. The finish is extremely pleasant, with a notable minerality. Intense golden yellow. A wine of character, with great aromatic finesse, richness, continuity, and balance that amply satisfy the palate.
