SEASON 2024

As it happens now, year after year since 2020, the winter of 2024 has been characterized by mild temperatures. The beginning of the sprouting has occurred regularly in line with seasonal rhythms, with abundant rains compared to previous years. The summer period has given us a favorable climate, with good water presence thanks to the unusual rainfall of the months of July and August. This presence of rain also characterized the harvest phase, certainly imprinting unique characteristics to the vintage, such as the persistence of the sensation of acidity.

HARVEST

25th SEPTEMBER TO 27th SEPTEMBER

VINIFICATION

The selected grapes, once in the winery, are destemmed and put directly into the press. Pressing process is done through the use of dry ice which allows optimal pressing in the absence of oxygen, preserving the noble and unique components of the terroir and Lugana. After this cryo-maceration, the grapes undergo a soft pressing. The must is kept at 10 C° and allowed to clarify naturally by static settling. Then the limpid is drawn off and fermented at a controlled temperature using specific yeasts. Once obtained, the wine is left to mature for about 6 months in stainless steel tanks, cadenced by constant batonnage, and then left to refine in the bottle.

SENSORY ANALYSIS

Straw yellow color with golden highlights. On the nose it is exuberant, expressing the typical ripe aromas of Lugana among which the yellow pulp fruit stands out with a note of cedar and acacia honey. On the palate it is soft, rich and dynamic with a distinct mineral note and a long and complex finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It is particularly good with lake and sea fish, as well as with a delicate risottos. Also suitable for dishes richer in flavor such as game and medium-aged cheeses.
