MOLCEO

LUGANA DOC RESERVE

GRAPE VARIETIES Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana).

ZONE OF

PRODUCTION

San Benedetto di Lugana, south of Lake

Garda. The grapes come from estate vineyards,

particularly suited to the production of Lugana

for its high content of white clay.

SYSTEM OF

CULTIVATION

Double Guyot.

YIELD 80 q/Ha

HARVEST The harvest and selection take place

strictly by hand; the grapes are placed

in small 17-kg crates. Late harvest in

October.

METHOD OF

PRODUCTION

Gentle, soft whole cluster crushing

for much of the production, the remainder

with light destemming by oscillation. In

following, a strict protocol is applied

of vinification: malolactic fermentation

partial, 18-month aging on fine lees,

which takes place for the most part in steel and the

remainder in barrels and barriques.

DESCRIPTION

SENSORY

Intense golden. Captivating on the nose, it opens

immediately with hints of citrus, flowers

whites and elegant mineral notes. The palate is rich,

structured and complex with enveloping hints

minerals, hints of flint and hydrocarbons.

Lingering finish. Delicate evolution, thought

to longevity.

PAIRINGS

SUGGESTED

Ideal with fish dishes from the lake and the

sea, it also goes well with savory or fatty meats.

Interesting with aged or blue cheeses

and with elaborate first courses.
