About the wine
Antonio's deliciously zesty Lugana completes his special set of great North Italian whites
-
On a quest to complete his ‘Tri-Veneto’ set of seriously-special whites for Angels, Antonio’s crafted a series of utter gems - like this tongue-tingling and zesty Lugana - from the little pockets of wine paradise that dot the Venetian landscape.
-
Lugana is a tiny winemaking region that straddles the border between Lombardy and Veneto, where mineral-rich clay soils produce super-ripe grapes. The grape of choice in this area is Turbiana, a local speciality famed for creating finely-balanced white wines crammed with fresh citrus fruits and satisfying minerality... just like this one.
-
This classy white entices you in with tropical aromas of tangerine, pineapple and passionfruit, with a dash of spice too. Then all that yummy citrus follows-through on the tongue for a really satisfying finish. This is the perfect white wine to enjoy with a hearty Italian pasta or seafood risotto. ‘Or absolutely anything with asparagus!’ says Antonio.
