Rated this 7 years ago and it’s still not from Lombardy, Delectable 🙄
Good fruit, nice and savory. Fresh red berries, some chalky minerals, touch of tobacco, prune, good acids. From Main Street Wine and Gourmet, Orleans. 10/09/23 — 2 months ago
Here’s the Ottella Lugana Le Creete (2021) hailing from the small DOC of Lugana on the edge of Lake Garda calling both Veneto and Lombardy its home.
It’s made with 100% Trebbiano di Lugana (aka Turbiana) and is pale lemon with medium(+) intensity of grapefruit peel, honeydew, passion fruit, green apple, gooseberry, white blossom, honeysuckle, wet stones, Italian parsley, fennel, boxwood, toast, and delicate aged, hard cheese notes…
It has mouthwatering acidity to balance the medium alcohol (13% ABV) and rich mouthfeel and aromatic/ flavor intensity. It’s positively delicious!! — 4 months ago
Wonderful mountain Nebbiolo from the Valtellina region of Lombardy. Aims to be true to the terroir, and succeeds. — 3 months ago
Light and bright. Recommended by Jennifer at Lucia. She sold us on the female wine maker doing Nebbiolo in Lombardy. Priced nicely. — 10 months ago
Umm.. quite possibly my new house red. Rosenthal knows how to pick ‘em. Everything you want in a solid Chianti or Langhe Nebbiolo but from ultra unsexy Oltrepo Pavese in Lombardy (croatina, barbera, uva rara blend). All the acid you want in your northern Italian reds, but without the sometimes pesky green or harsh, drying Nebbiolo/ Sangiovese tannins. Red and black cherry, red and black currant, star anise, rose petal, with subtle herbal/earthy edge. Highly quaffable. Made for pizza / pasta nights. — a year ago
