First up: This has been our best-selling Italian white wine for the last 15 years, as well as the house wine of many of our clients as well as some man named Larry Ellison
Sadly, 25% of the vineyards in the Lugana DOC are at risk of being destroyed, as construction on Italy's high-speed railway is cutting directly through the middle of this region to connect Milan to Venice. If you have yet to try this wine or region, there's no better time than right now.
Made from the distinct local variety Turbiano (not to be confused with the lesser Trebbiano) this beauty is so fragrant and floral that you might think it was made of blossoms freshly cut from the garden. Mineral clarity meets the aromas of candied citrus in ways that amaze and astonish. The palate is gentle and smooth echoing the texture of perfectly ripened fruit and leaving the mouth fresh, fragrant, and dry.
