description:
This wine is obtained from Trebbiano di Lugana grapes. The careful winemaking was carried out by paying a special attention to press fractions, bottle refermentation, and maturing on the yeast for at least 60 months, which provide this product an outstanding character of freshness and complexity. When smelled, it reveals a firework of balmy flavors reminding of sage and lemon with an unusual cherry background. At the palate it proves powerful and rich with an acid nerve, opposed by a marked creamy taste and almost oily texture, creating a nearly everlasting sensation of persistence.
