| Description: |
|
Il bianco de l'Otela, as the old inhabitants of Northern Italy's Peschiera sometimes called it, is none other than the Trebbiano di Lugana of the Montresor family, winegrowers for many generations, and the tradition continues. Franscesco left the legal profession and, with his father Ludovico, has dedicated all of his time to the pursuit of the highest quality wines. The Ottella Lugana, thanks to the care dedicated to the vineyard, to the harvest , and to the wonderful nature of the soil, which is born of great distinction. The Montresor family vinifies all the grapes from their own 25 hectares of vineyards and those of longtime growers, in order to guarantee that the highest quality wine possible is derived from the terreno. In this unexpectedly benign climate the much-maligned variety Trebbiano can flourish, especially if it is grown with care and not permitted to over-produce. Here is a beautiful example of the result: a very aromatic bouquet introduces mild, somewhat broad flavors to the palate. The wine is quite dry, but not particularly hard edged, and in a forthright and attractive way makes its case for its grape and soil, and its producer, who must be complemented for coaxing such balance into being. (6 x 75 cl)

Tommasi Viticoltori LE FORNACI Lugana DOC
Description: 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.

Azienda Agricola di Follador Loris CASA COSTE PIANE Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOC
Description: Casa Coste Piane is a small estate in Santo Stefano, heart of the Valdobbiadene area. For generations their wine had been sold in bulk but since 1983 they decided to bottle the production themselves. The vineyards lie on slopes close to the cellar and the vines are on average 60 years old and their roots can grow up to 30-40 metres long. This Prosecco is a gem, it is one of the few made in the champenoise method wherein the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. Harvest is usually between the last week of September and the first week of October. In April the wine is bottled without the addition of yeast and sugar, subsequently the indigenous yeast contained in the wine starts a second spontaneous fermentation that lasts for approximately four weeks. After this the wine spends a further four weeks sur lie. The process of "disgorgement" is not practised, therefore the yeasts are still present in the bottle. This fine Prosecco is clean, pure and elegant, mineral with crackling citrus notes, easy-drinking and at the same time complex. (12 x 75 cl)
