Description

An intense pale yellow colour with brilliant hues, on the nose it offers floral and fruity scents, dominated by aromas of white peach and lemon zest, with balsamic hints of thyme and sage and an intriguing mineral impression of wet stones that is so typical in Lugana wines possessing a strong personality. The palate boasts a perfect balance between freshness and concentration with a nice mineral flavour adding elegance and persistence.

Ideal as aperitiv, it is perfectly matched with roast, grilled and boiled fish, above all with lake fish, as trout, perch and whitefish. Try it with “aringhe alla gardesana”, the local way to cook the typical herring of Lake Garda!

Delicious and straightforward, yet at the same time elegant and complex, it is a most authentic expression of the Lugana growing area. This Lugana is made from the selection of the best bunches of Turbiana and takes its name from the vineyards near the small village of Montonale, originally called Montunal.
