S.Cristina Lugana DOC Vigneto Massoni

Rich, with an elegant, floral bouquet; full-bodied, concentrated and a long finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Marzemino and Sangiovese are the main grapes for the 2005 Ronchedone, together with a maximum of 10% of Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a good depth of colour and perfumes of spicy red fruits on the nose. On the palate it has excellent concentration of spicy, jammy fruit with rounded, soft tannins and good acidity. Good structure supporting the ripe fruit character gives it a nice balance and attractive weight. Over the past decade, the Dal Cero family has transformed their Ca’ dei Frati property into a model Italian estate. When we first began buying their wines in 1987, they had 12 hectares of vineyard; today, they have 50. This increase in quantity has been matched by an increase in quality, and today they remain the best producers in Lugana. The quality of their vineyards is the secret of their success. Many producers in the zone overcrop and train the vines high. At Ca’ dei Frati, the vines are trained low, newer vineyards have a higher density of planting, and yields are well below the average for the zone. (6 x 75 cl)

Fabiano Moderna ARGILLAIA Lugana DOC from Italy, Veneto, Lugana by Vini Fabiano Sona Fruity Dry Whites (6 x 75 cl)

Tommasi Viticoltori is a family firm founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi and today the estate is run by the 4th generation of family. From grandfather Giacomo's tiny vineyard, the Tommasi estate has grown steadily and now extends over 135 hectares of hillside vineyard blessed by mother nature, not only by a magnificent landscape, but more importantly by its perfect suitability for grapes. The family owns exceptionally well situated estates for the production of high quality white wine in the D.O.C. regions of Soave and near Lake Garda for Lugana, Custoza and Bardolino . In addition, it has vineyards in Valdadige, a valley created by the Adige river in the mountains north of the province of Verona. After years of searching for a truly memorable cru in the Lugana zone, Tommasi discovered the vineyard 'Le Fornaci'. It is cultivated in soil deposited by the glacier which carved out Lake Garda and characteristically yields only a small volume of the most prestious Trebbiano di Lugana grapes. After careful selection of the Trebbiano di Lugana grapes they spend 7 days fermenting in stainless steel tanks followed by 5 months maturation in stainless steel tanks. This has produced a moon yellow coloured wine with a clean and spicy fragrance, highlighted by delicious hints of tropical fruit. Medium-bodied with good acidity it has a clean, crisp finish.
