Ca' Lojera Lugana Riserva del Lupo 2017

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant it.

The Ca 'Lojera winery is an important reference point for the Lugana appellation. It was founded in Sirmione in the early nineties by Ambra and Franco Tiraboschi, who decided to transform what was at the time a fruit and vegetable company into a specialized winery. The vineyard of the Ca 'Lojera winery extends for about 20 hectares. The Turbiana vines are located close to Lake Garda on hard clayey soils, while the other varieties, such as Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon are on the hills of Ponti sul Mincio.

The Lugana Riserva Del Lupo is made with grapes from the typical vine of the area, Trebbiano di Lugana or Turbiana, which from a genetic point of view is identical to Trebbiano di Soave and Verdicchio delle Marche. The vines are grown on soils characterized by precious white clays. The grapes are harvested in a slightly overripe phase and the must is fermented in steel tanks. The wine ages for 24 months in steel tanks followed by 6 months in the bottle.

The wine is intense and rich with straw yellow color and bright golden reflections. The bouquet recalls aromas of Mediterranean herbs, ripe yellow and tropical fruit, citrus notes and delicate floral nuances. In the mouth, it is elegant, with complex and very persistent aromas, which anticipate a fresh and savory finish. Have it with lobster or sushi.
