Acclaim
“The 2015 Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato lifts from the glass with a rich blend of white flowers, raw almonds, baked apples and pears. It’s soothingly round, with a pleasant inner sweetness and ripe orchard fruits swirling over a juicy core of acidity. Minty herbs and hints of custard linger through the long and dramatic finale as the 2015 tapers off with youthful tension. Sweet inner florals resonate on the close. What a beauty! Now four years after its initial release, this is a total pleasure to taste.” — Vinous, Feb 2024
“Acacia, beeswax, crushed herb and yellow stone-fruit aromas align with a whiff of oak. The elegantly structured savory palate has apricot, tangerine zest, ginger and toasted nut. A hint of coffee lingers on the close.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2018
