Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2016 Lapideus was made using whole cluster Trebbiano Spoletino from old vines grown in a slightly cooler climate than “Arboreus”. This vintage of Lapideus saw a 24-day maceration and rested on its lees without temperature control for 149 days. This special ambrosia pours a slightly turbid, deep golden color. Funky fresh with a melange of dried apricots, dried mango, some membrillo and some dried orange. Bracing acidity but everything is very much in balance! A very compelling body and lovely finish that is, all in all, quite becoming. This is in a great spot and I would say drink now though there isn’t a huge rush either. Mother Nature didn’t do Giampiero any favors in 2016 and as a result, production was seriously low; only 798 bottles were made. Selfishly, I’m very happy he put in the effort. Bottle No. 517. — 12 days ago

Lugana is so beautiful, delicious and under appreciated. Just pour it for people!! An elegant cacophony of yellow pear, white flowers, green herbs and peach pit with the slightest tingle of candied fruit and beeswax. Racy acidity, medium-bodied and easily consumed! — 2 months ago

Skin contact. Dry. Delicious. Aromatic. Such a great “young” orange wine. Plenty of legs on this. — 2 months ago

Fascinating natural orange wine from Tuscany. A blend of three local varietals (Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Ansonica) and three days of skin contact. Produces a dichotomy of fruit and nut-focused flavors. Orange peel, peach and apricot, hazelnut and almonds. Strong acidity and a long mouthwatering tart finish. — 9 days ago

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
