Production involves a late harvest and long ageing in steel, resulting in an olfactory profile of citrus, dried apricot, saffron, honey and candied fruit. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e with a savoury and structured mouthful and remarkable longevity. At the table, it is best expressed with \u003cstrong\u003eraw seafood\u003c\/strong\u003e, oysters, lobster, sashimi and recipes from Oriental cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are located in Rovizza di Sirmione, a short distance from the shores of Lake Garda in Lombardy. The vines thrive in a \u003cstrong\u003esingle plot\u003c\/strong\u003e that is thirty-five years old, benefiting from optimal exposure at an altitude of 66 metres above sea level. The roots sink into \u003cstrong\u003eLugana white clay\u003c\/strong\u003e, a morainic-sedimentary formation originating from an ancient lake bed. This specific geological composition, combined with the beneficial microclimate guaranteed by the \u003cstrong\u003eproximity to the lake\u003c\/strong\u003e, gives the wine a broad flavour profile, impeccable aromatic precision and remarkable structural persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a manual \u003cstrong\u003elate harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, extended until early November, which also involves selecting berries affected by noble rot. After gentle pressing and cold clarification, the must ferments at a controlled temperature. Maturation takes place for about two years in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, with regular bâtonnage to enhance the clarity of the wine. Before being released to the market, the wine rests in the bottle for six to eighteen months in an \u003cstrong\u003eunderground cellar\u003c\/strong\u003e located below the lake level, thus maintaining a constant and ideal temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLugana Riserva del Lupo originates in Rovizza di Sirmione, where pure Turbiana vines root into the white clay of an ancient lake bed. Ca’ Lojera enhances this terroir with a late autumn harvest. After two years in steel, the wine rests in cellars located underground below the level of the lake. This maturation at a constant temperature provides a deep structure and extraordinary longevity, expressing itself at its best ten years after bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ca Lojera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47580641657003,"sku":"62358","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/ca-lojera-lugana-riserva-del-lupo-2022_62358_1_a2ac73a7-0992-4499-afba-71f393f5f0b6.webp?v=1787908818","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/ca-lojera-lugana-riserva-del-lupo-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
