Description
Lugana Ottella Le Creete is a wine produced with 100% Trebbiano di Lugana grapes from the vineyard called "le Creete" in the locality of San Benedetto di Lugana. This vineyard has particular characteristics as the soil is largely composed of white clay, which makes the grapes particularly valuable for the production of Lugana Le Creete. The harvest is strictly manual and generally takes place between September and October in boxes of about 17kg after a careful selection of the best bunches. The whole bunches are gently pressed and the musts are clarified and inoculated with selected yeasts for alcoholic fermentation, which occurs at a temperature of 14-16°C for about 20 days. Lugana Le Creete is aged for about 6 months on fine lees, and during this time numerous batonnage are repeatedly performed to complete the taste profile. At the end of this phase, the wine is bottled and released to the market. Pairings: Lugana Ottella Le Creete is a wine very suitable for pairing with seafood or lake fish appetizers, excellent with first courses such as risottos, pasta with lake or sea fish, and main courses always based on fish. Perfect pairing with aged cheeses. Storage: Store at 16-18°C Alcohol content: 12.50% Vintage: 2023 Designation: Lugana DOC Aging: In steel for 6-7 months.
