This is an example of the “fresh” style of Lugana, meant to be consumed sooner than later. It has bright flavors of pineapple, green apples and green bell pepper, with a hint of honeysuckle to the finish. It has enough acidity to stand up to spicy foods. It is not overly sweet, with perhaps the residual sugar of a California Sauvignon Blanc. — 2 months ago

Ca’ Lojera, pronounced “callow yerra”, means “house of the wolf”, making this a Stark wine for GoT fans. The estate was originally the bishop’s Summer home, so here, the “wolves” refer to smugglers who used the estate as a base during the rest of the year.
Ca’ Lojera is primarily a producer of Lugana whites, but they grow a bit of Cabernet and Merlot for their rosato, and make stainless steel varietal wines of each. The Merlot is surprisingly good, with smooth, clean cherry and blueberry fruits, and just a touch of pepper spice bite to the finish. — 4 months ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Яркий малиново-земляничный аромат. Даже и не скажешь, что вину 27 лет. Не хватает кислотности, но это сортовое свойство чёрного муската. Приятное десертное вино. — 4 years ago
