Riserva Vigne di Catullo Lugana Trebbiano

Nose has wet rocks, white flowers, green herbs, fresh cut hay field and lime peel & zest.

Palate has fresh lemon, crushed green herbs, under-ripe lychee, green apple peel with great lingering acidity.

This particular Lugana is actually Turbiana (Verdicchio for this village), not Trebbiano.

So much texture. So much going on. Dances between butter and acidity.

My first Turbiana, or Trebbiano di Lugana but genetically a Verdicchio.
Nose of ripe stone fruits, lemon zest, wet stone, light white floral, and hint of almond. Medium to full body. Firm, vivid acidity provides good tension to the otherwise textured palate, finished with a medium mineral note.
This old vine riserva bottling is like a hybrid between Napa chard and Chablis. Will need to taste more Turbiana.

Super juicy, but medium body

Excellent! Lovely nose. Citrusy aromatic flavor with just the right amount of acid

One of my favorite white wines. Great balance.

Spectauclar wine. Rich and silky with a nice mouthfeel. Ripe stone fruit; honeyed minerality and an almond finish. Delicious and weighty. 2012 vintage. $24
