Hello friends,
Spring is officially 10 days away, and we finally received our restock of the 2020 Ottella "Le Creete" Lugana just in time! We thought the container would never get checked in through the port...
Having been ranked #75 on Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Wines of 2021, this wine was once again one of the finest white best buys of the year. We're very happy for this winery — but we're not at all surprised. This has perennially been the best-selling Italian white for 12 years straight.
We've turned many of our 'Artisans' onto this absolutely beautiful white that goes with literally anything (and nothing). 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 were 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.
