  A delightful surprise! Got this in the wine club a few years ago knowing nothing about it. I understand why this is the producer's winner!
  Medium straw color, medium-bodied dry white with a Nose of white peach, pear, orange, elderflower, and a little grass. The palate continues with additional ripe pink grapefruit, and a lingering salty minerality and zesty tanginess on the medium finish.

  I consider this my go to house white from the first promising days of Spring until Autumn’s chill.
  Delicious with bracing acidity, peach and the perfect saline minerality that invites another sip. This vintage is evolving and will hold nicely for the next few years.

  Absolute pleasure to drink. Pear, apricot, a bit of honey and very nice, fresh acidity. A bit leaner and more acidic than in previous years. Absolutely like this wine. Superb value for money.
  Lugana’s has been a favourite of mine, when everyone falsely saw this as a Trebbiano. I hope that prices stay down while it’s becoming more en vogue.
  Good to got for a few years I think.

  Appricot, lemon, green apple, flower petal nose. The nose is just gorgeous. Crisp, acidic, lemon finish with a silky medium length. Just wonderful.

  Really pretty smelling again with some salty minerality to it. On the nose. Darn good on the palate as well. That's tasting super great. Delicious.
