Lugana “Orestilla” DOC 2020

The grapes are selected exclusively from the Cru Orestilla vineyard, 2 hectares in the village of Montonale, with a fortunate southern exposure and constant ventilation which allows the perfect maturation of the bunches. Vinification: the bunches are selected and cooled before pressing, in order to preserve the aromatic precursors as much as possible. A soft pressing then takes place in the absence of oxygen, to avoid oxidation of the noble components of the grape; only the fraction of the free-run must is selected, obtained at very delicate pressures. The must is clarified by natural decantation, and ferments for approximately 10 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine matures for approximately 8 months on the noble lees with constant bâtonnage (re-suspension of the fine lees) and continues refinement in the bottle for at least 10 months.

Straw yellow color with strong golden reflections. The nose captivates with its notes of sweet citrus fruits, pineapple and yellow peach, accompanied by intense mineral sensations of wet stone. The sip is juicy and fresh, with notes of pineapple and thyme in the olfactory bouquet; marked mineral flavor in the long and complex finish.

Perfect with fish soups, shellfish and stewed and grilled fish preparations. Try it with the typical carpione Garda aolette.
