AVERAGE YIELD

110 qli/Ha

SEASON 2021

A cool spring with little rainfall, preceded by a mild winter, led to early and vigorous sprouting. The abundant rainfall in July restored the vegetative development of the plant, avoiding an unfavorable early harvest. Long periods, with high day/night temperature swings, favored a perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes, predicting one of the best vintages in terms of aromatic freshness and minerality. This climate during the harvest proved to be particularly favourable.

HARVEST

5th SEPTEMBER TO 6th SEPTEMBER

VINIFICATION

The selected grapes, once in the winery, are crushed-destemmed and placed directly into the press. After a soft pressing, the must is kept at 10°C and left to clarify naturally through static decantation. The limpid is then taken and fermented using selected yeasts at a controlled temperature, for the first alcoholic fermentation. Once obtained, the wine is made sparkling with the “Metodo Charmat” and left to mature for about 6 months in stainless steel tanks, for the second fermentation. Subsequently the Lugana Spumante ages for a short time in the bottle.

SENSORY ANALYSIS

Straw yellow color with golden highlights. On the nose it expresses the typical floral and fruity notes, among which the white pulp fruit and a bouquet of white flowers stand out. In the mouth it is fresh and velvety, with an important mineral note and a slightly citrus aftertaste.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif. Recommended with grilled fish dishes and white meats. Excellent on citrus-based risottos and Mediterranean herbs.
