Acclaim
A vivid and bright white with so much papaya and mango character and lemon undertones. Full body. Fantastic fruit and a crisp finish. Outstanding wine. One of the best I have had in a long time. Drink now.
— James Suckling, Oct 2017
A rich and creamy Lugana, this is medium-bodied and fresh, offering flavors of patisserie pear, lemon curd and saline-tinged mineral, with a delicate thread of aromatic spice that lingers on the finish.
