Lugana DOC - Cipriano di Venezia

The Lugana from Cipriano di Venezia is the right drop for all wine enthusiasts who like it dry. At the same time it never appears lean or austere, but rather round and smooth. Balanced and complex, this creamy and melting white wine presents itself on the palate. Thanks to its lively acidity, the Lugana is exceptionally fresh and vibrant on the palate. On the finish, this age-worthy white wine from the Lombardy wine region delights with good length. Once again, nuances of lemon and grapefruit appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the limestone- and clay-dominated soils join in.
