Zenato, Lugana DOC Riserva

The Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato is produced from the company’s most hitoric vineyards and only in certain vintages that ensure the longevity of this vine. Sergio Zenato had great faith in the Lugana right from the beginning and poted for refinement in wood precisely to enhance that longevity. So pleased was he with the result, he put his signature on the label.

The slightly late harvest (middle of October) rewards us with a unique expression of this wine in structure and significant longevity.

The fermentation takes place partly in 50 hl oak barrels, partly in 300 L tonneaux and partly in steel tanks (the percentage varies according to the vintage) for about 15 days, followed by oak ageing for about 18 months. Before commercialization the wine undergoes additional months of steel tank refinement and 6 months of bottle refinement.

Color: the color is clear gold with sparkling highlights.
Nose: the bouquet has elegant hints of flowers, citrus and exotic fruit.
Palate: the wine has a substantial, balanced and mineral taste.
