Wine Description

This is the flagship white of the Zenato family, made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana from the oldest vines of the Podere Massoni vineyard. Sergio Zenato Lugana Riserva is a testament to the family's dedication to indigenous grape varieties. A sophisticated and unique offering, the wine receives special handling in French oak.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant gold in color, Sergio Zenato Riserva Lugana offers an intense yet elegant floral bouquet. Beautifully layered on the palate, this wine tantalizes the senses with notes of stone fruit, vanilla and white flowers. Stylish and rich, it will pair well with a wide range of dishes, especially grilled fish, but it is delicious also by itself.
