Acclaim
“This medium-bodied white opens with aromas of white stone fruit, graphite and oak-driven spice. On the polished palate, fresh acidity accompanies mature yellow apple, flint and tangy citrus. It closes on a coffee note.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Nov 2022
“The 2018 Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato blossoms in the glass, as a whiff of vanilla bean and almond paste give way to a pretty mix of crushed yellow apples, nectarine and gingery spice. This is deeply textural, almost oily in feel, with a dense wave of mineral-tinged orchard fruit that coast along a core of brisk acidity: It leaves the palate reverberating with citrus tension, yet also an enriching air of custard that balances it all out. The Riserva is fermented in a combination of 70% oak casks, which adds amazing depth and body without taking away from the zesty character of the Trebbiano di Lugana variety, and in 30% stainless steel tank.”
