Acclaim
Exploring the Best of Northern Italy - Zenato's 2005 Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato presents exotic aromatics and sweet, honeyed melon, mango and ginger. The late-harvest style and barrique-aging help give the wine its full-bodied texture and length. This is a very unique expression of Trebbiano from Lugana. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2009.
