Stock Status: Private Order Only Per Case / Size: 6 x 750ml Intro: On the southern shores of Lake Garda, in a terrain full of history and considered to be premier cru, stands the ancient Roveglia farmstead. This is the only surviving example in this area of 15th century Lombardy architecture. The surrounding land, hidden under vines, is a terroir whose history goes back 200 million years. Its the union of the ancient and clay soils with a native vine that produces an extraordinary wine called Lugana. Description: This is a Lugana of extraordinary personality and elegance, obtained through a vinification in oak barrels. Filo di Arianna is a full bodied wine which is both complex and well structured, yet also harmonious and velvety on the palate. Vinification: 100% Turbiana (AKA Trebbiano) di Lugana - Vendemmia Tardiva. Harvest: First/second ten days of November: it is a late-harvest wine. The grapes are picked by hand and put in small crates. Vinification: Without the skins; soft pressing of the grapes with extraction of a maximum of 50% of free-run juice. Fermentation in 30 Hl. oak casks. Maturation:? 24 months in 30 Hl. oak casks Bottling?: In February/March of the third year after the harvest. It is released onto the market after around six months in bottle. Flavours: This is a Lugana Superiore of notable personality obtained as a result of vinification in large oak casks, which enhances its bouquet, characterised by mineral aromas and faint hints of roasted almonds. With this richness on the nose Il Filo di Arianna combines a full, well-balanced, and silky flavour. Food Pairings: It makes an ideal accompaniment for fish dishes and grilled meats; excellent also with risottos and cheeses. Because of its strong personality, we do not recommend it with sweet foods. |
