This Lugana is a “riserva”, the opposite of the “fresh” type. Riservas are meant to be aged a bit, much like a high-end Riesling, and are aimed at the German wine market. This is a great example of the craft, medium bodied like a big Chardonnay, but with complex lemon and lime citric flavors like a New Zealand SB. The tartness of the finish allows it to cut through the oils in food to cleanse the palate. I am not accustomed to aging white wines, but I almost wish that I had allowed this to lay down for another year or so. — 9 months ago
This dry sparkler is made in the Champagne method, using Turbiana and Marzemino grapes. It isn’t a sweet wine, despite the pink color. There’s some refreshing strawberry and almond flavors, and enough bubbly acidity to stand up to really spicy foods. We paired it with Jamaican jerk chicken! It has a pleasant lingering finish, like tart dried peaches. — a year ago

Had this Moscato at a picnic and it elevated the experience. Smooth and at 17% alcohol, you can’t beat it! — 6 months ago
This sparkling Lugana, dubbed Palafitte, is dry and about as bubbly as a Prosecco. It’s common for wineries to make sparkling Lugana wines in Champagne style, Prosecco style, or often one of each! This particular wine is made for food, standing up bravely to spicy Asian cuisine. It has palate-cleansing lemon rind and grassy tones, and a slightly bitter bite to the finish that allows one to sample the next dish in the meal with a fresh tongue. — 10 months ago

Time has turned this wine into a mind blowing experience. The floral bouquet jumps out of the glass.!The flabbiness is gone. Integrated fruit with apricot pit. Focused finish. I was visibly upset when the bottle was empty. — a year ago
Sipping Fine Wine
Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruit, citrus and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and peach with citrus and nutty notes. Good acidity, balance and structure, medium+ finish ending with salty mineral character. — 2 hours ago
