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!! — a year ago
From Marler Sean’s bday. “Naked bright Arnieis from Lombardy” — a year 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 — a year ago
Wonderful mountain Nebbiolo from the Valtellina region of Lombardy. Aims to be true to the terroir, and succeeds. — a year ago
Light and bright. Recommended by Jennifer at Lucia. She sold us on the female wine maker doing Nebbiolo in Lombardy. Priced nicely. — 2 years ago
