Vinification of the Lugana Le Creete DOC by Ottella

The Turbiana grapes for this Lugana grow in the single layer Le Creete, which is characterized by a particularly high proportion of white clay. Turbiana stands for Trebbiano di Lugana, a grape that has been widespread in the Lugana region since ancient times. The grape harvest takes place only at the end of September until well into October, exclusively manually. The majority is subjected to gentle gangrene pressing, a small part is gently destemmed and then pressed. This is followed by slow fermentation at controlled low temperatures, followed by ageing in a stainless steel tank on the fine yeasts over a period of 6 to 8 months.
