Zenato Lugana Brut

Lugana Brut DOC bottle image

Wine Description

This vineyard is located between Peschiera and Desenzano, the southern area of Garda Lake.  The must for this wine is obtained with a light pressing and is fermented with the natural yeasts of the grape itself in stainless steel tanks. The bottles stand in racks for 18 months and the wine evolves and matures. The bottles are then placed on the pupitres, clarified by riddling, remuage, and then the deposit is removed by dégorgement.

Acclaim
“Crisp, clean and bone-dry, this refreshing sparkler conveys delicate aromas of honeysuckle and ripe orchard fruit. The vibrant palate delivers tart green apple, mature pear and zesty citrus accompanied by an elegant perlage and tangy acidity.”
— Wine Enthusiast, May 2015
“From one of Veneto’s leading producers, this is made with native Turbiana grape. Creamy flavors of lemon pastry, Bartlett pear and yellow apple are brightened by refreshing acidity and a fine perlage. It finishes on an almond note.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2014
