LUGANA RISERVA 'MOLCEO' OTTELLA 2020 DESCRIPTION

Lugana Riserva Molceo is a white wine with interesting qualities of structure, complexity and longevity. It was born in the territory south of Lake Garda, between Brescia and Verona, where the mild climate and the compact clay soils rich in limestone, were perfect for growing white grapes. The main grape of the territory is Trebbiano di Lugana or Turbiana, genetically almost identical to Trebbiano di Soave and Verdicchio. In this particular terroir it is capable of producing wines of intense aromatic concentration, which have been shown to have an excellent aging potential, with elegant evolutions that turn towards the mineral.

Molceo is produced with 100% Trebbiano di Lugana grapes, which come from vineyards cultivated in the San Benedetto area. The suitable soils and the management with low yields, allow to have a good concentration of aromas, enhanced also by a slightly late harvest. After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. The flower must is fermented in steel at a controlled temperature and the subsequent partial malolactic fermentation. The wine then ages for a period of 16 months on the lees, mostly in steel and in small parts in barrels and barriques. A long aging process that gives Lugana a rich body and a remarkable complexity.

The Molceo Reserve immediately catches the eye with its intense and brilliant yellow color. The bouquet is broad and articulated, with aromas of ripe fruit, candied citrus peel and hints of flint. The mouthfeel is seductive, with soft, pulpy fruit, crossed by a good freshness and a clear mineral vein. It’s a white to be tasted with an important seafood menu, with white meat or with a platter of mature cheeses.
