Antiche Terre Venete boasts a total of no less than fifty hectares of vineyards. They produce exquisite wines such as the renowned Amarone, as well as wonderful whites like this Lugana. The Lugana is made from Trebbiano grapes, all grown in a perfect climate. Plenty of sunshine, a cool breeze, and a strong soil structure provide the grapes with everything they need. Once ripe, they are harvested in mid-September and then immediately transported to Antiche Terre Venete. Here, the grapes are aged "sur lie" for six months. During this period, this Lugana develops its strength and suppleness. It becomes a wine to talk about—ripe, complex, and full-bodied!
Take a large wine glass and pour this white Antiche Terre Venete Lugana, preferably at around 8 degrees Celsius. You'll then see a beautiful, clear, light yellow color with green highlights. Its aroma is rich and evokes impressions of tropical fruit, vanilla, green herbs, and a touch of citrus. On the palate, it's delightful, full-bodied, and robust, with plenty of exotic fruit. Some spice and lychee linger on the cheeks and the back of the tongue. The finish is long and full.
