Overview

Lugana Orestilla comes from the grapes of the vineyard of the same name, so called because in the seventeenth century the precious marble ark dedicated to the Roman matron Orestilla was found there. Thanks to the particular mixture of the soil that houses the vineyard, the grapes give rise to a rich, ample Lugana with great longevity.

Straw yellow color with strong golden reflections. The nose captivates with its notes of sweet citrus, pineapple, gooseberry and yellow peach, which are flanked by intense mineral sensations and aromatic herbs. All this is confirmed on the palate: the sip is juicy and rich in acidic freshness, the notes of pineapple and thyme refer to what is perceived on the nose, the marked mineral flavor accompanies the long and complex finish.
