This is a very good example of Lugana white, 100% Turbiana (closely related to Trebbiano, but not the same, despite the identified wine). It’s light bodied with bright acidity, some citric tartness, and a bit of graphite earthiness to the finish. This winery has switched from corks to screw cap closures in recent years; I have mixed feelings about this, since these closures will not allow the wine to age anytime soon, which motivates me to drink the bottles sooner.
