This wine represents the pinnacle of Lugana craftsmanship. This wine is able to captivate fanatics of fuller-bodied whites, including fans of Chardonnay or older Sauvignon Blanc. Sourced from old vines planted within the mineral-rich clay soils near Lake Garda, "Vigne di Catullo" is aged on its lees for a prolonged time. This helps the wine gain richness and texture while maintaining the signature freshness of Lugana. The end result is a wine that balances fragrant finesse with layered complexity. The palate is round and velvety, with a stunning tension among its creamy texture and zesty acidity. Flavors of lemon curd, peach, and toasted nuts evolve gracefully, completing with a mineral persistence and a hint of salinity that displays its lakeside origins. This Riserva pairs superbly with decadent food like lobster, creamy risottos, roasted chicken, or aged cheeses, but it is also a contemplative wine, best for sipping on its personal. For those searching for a more state-of-the-art take on Lugana, the 2021 Tenuta Roveglia "Vigne di Catullo" Lugana Riserva is it. For the price, this is a keeper.
