The Cellar Hot List

This wine opens with a bright, straw-yellow hue accented by delicate greenish reflections that catch the light beautifully. On the nose, it delivers an elegant and expressive bouquet dominated by crisp citrus fruits, green apple, and juicy white pear. As the wine opens up, these vibrant fruit notes are complemented by subtle white floral aromas and a deeper, slightly oily complexity that hints at its lees aging.

The palate is characterized by an exceptional balance of freshness and structure, showing off the classic traits of the Turbiana grape. It hits the tongue with a refreshing, vibrant acidity that is immediately grounded by a rich, full-bodied texture. Layers of stone fruit blend seamlessly, creating a mouthfeel that is both mouth-watering and substantially weighted.

It ends with a clean, remarkably persistent finish. Driven by the calcareous clay soils of the Lake Garda region, a pronounced mineral streak takes center stage, leaving a dry, flinty sensation. Lingering notes of almond and citrus zest endure long after the final sip. Pairs exceptionally well with fresh seafood crudo, spaghetti alle vongole, white meats, light vegetables.
