Acclaim
"The 2009 Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato, the estate’s top Lugana, is aged in French oak, which naturally gives the wine additional textural richness and volume....."
— Wine Advocate, Mar 2012
“This handsome bottle of white wine opens to creamy aromas of stone fruit and cantaloupe melon backed by vanilla mousse and even a distant touch of cinnamon spice. The mouthfeel is smooth and soft.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Aug 2013
