Paired to pork tenderloin medallions in a Maitake/Sage/Madeira sauce. — 5 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
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
@Delectable Wine this is from Lugana, not Veneto, and is 90% turbiana and 10% malvasia — 8 months ago
clear and gold. i don’t get much on the nose, pretty low intensity, hard to pull out aromas. dry, medium + body, almost round on the palate. medium - acid. hard to pick out flavors on this one. pear strikes me as the main note. maybe some green melon too ? good wine, good with food (lamb gyro) — 5 years 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
At L’Ambassade de Bourgogne on 8/27/2022 as recommended by server — 12 cl, then bottle for ca. €75. Outstanding delicious In every way — 2 years ago
Awesome. Herbaceous and minty but lush and textural. Rivals champagne for sure, with a little something extra and unusual that the latter can’t provide. — 3 years ago

This delicious rosé is medium dry, very light, with faint strawberry and honeysuckle flavors. — a month ago
