2010 Lugana Cento Filari DOC

This lovely white wine comes from vineyards located close to the southern shore of Lake Garda, in Peschiera del Garda and Pozzolengo.

Lugana is the best zone for production of the Trebbiano grape variety and the wines show great elegance and minerality. Due to its own peculiarity, “Cento Filari” can be enjoyed even 3 years after the vintage.

Tasting Notes
Bright straw yellow colour. Great perfume with intense notes of flowers and fruits. On the palate the wine reveals a good minerality and balanced acidity along with fullness, softness and a lengthy finish. To be served at 8°-10° C.

Food matching
It is a delight as an aperitif and great with hors d’oeuvre, lake fish (whitefish, eel, trout) as well as sea fish or a delicate main course.

Winemaking Notes
