Characteristics
This is a wine that is notable for its marked character, finesse, and persistence on the palate. A bright, deep straw yellow in colour, it expresses the characteristics of the wines of Lugana to the full: very good body, a delicate fragrance, and a complex, refined bouquet. It goes particularly well with fish, white meats and hors d’oeuvres. Excellent as an aperitif.
