Within the Lugana area, this wine stands out for its bright straw-yellow colour. On the nose, clear notes of pear, green apple and white flowers emerge, accompanied by a vibrant citrus nuance. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, with balanced acidity that supports the fruit well. The sip finishes with a \u003cstrong\u003elong, mineral finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003efish dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e, white meats and salads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white wine is produced in San Benedetto di Lugana, south of Lake Garda. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003eglacial soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, composed of layered clays and limestone. Towards the hills, the land becomes richer in sand and minerals. This soil composition is crucial in giving the grapes a \u003cstrong\u003emarked savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a strong territorial character, ensuring the wine has \u003cstrong\u003egreat freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a well-defined acidic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOttella’s production involves a \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out with care. In the winery, the whole bunches are gently pressed. After natural settling, the must ferments slowly at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged for five months on the \u003cstrong\u003efine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e: this practice enriches the structure and complexity of the sip, while preserving the lively tension that characterises the final product.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1960 to the south of Lake Garda, the \u003cstrong\u003eOttella\u003c\/strong\u003e winery embodies the authentic essence of the \u003cstrong\u003eLugana DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e denomination through sustainable viticulture.
