2021 Ottella "Le Creete" Lugana DOC
Not yet rated—previous vintage reviews below:
95 Points - Decanter:
"Francesco Montresor left a legal profession to take over the family estate, converting it from mixed agriculture to viticulture. The property, one of the oldest in Lugana, has 95ha in various plots in the Veronese part of the DOC, including vineyards directly overlooking Lake Garda. Creete is a toothsome late-picked, single-vineyard selection with a hint of tropical fruits and candied peel on the nose then a rich palate sustained by succulent acidity and a long, dry finish. Drinking Window 2022 - 2028." -RB (2/22)
92 Points, #75 Top 100 '21 - Wine Enthusiast:
"Aromas of elderflower, citrus and tropical fruit lead the nose. Tangy and savory, the vibrant palate offers grapefruit, gooseberry and pineapple before a saline finish." - Kerin O'Keefe (9/1/21)
