Cesari Centofilari Lugana 2023, Lombardy

This Lugana is named after the vineyard Centofilari located south of Lake Garda – where its Turbiana and Chardonnay grapes are grown. Vinification takes place in stainless steel, with contact with lees for three months to fully express its aromatic potential.  The sensory characteristics of this Lugana DOC comes from a mild Autumn, with snowfall only in November, followed by a Winter that was first warm and then arctic. A cool and rainy May brought a torrid Summer in August, with high temperatures even at night, ending with thunderstorms.  Lugana DOC Centofilari’s color is brilliant yellow straw with golden reflections. The bouquet bursts with intense notes of flowers and fruit, hints of citrus, and delicate notes of tropical fruit, ripe apple, and peach. The palate is mineral and pleasantly savory.
