Acclaim
“Excellent expression of Trebbiano grape. Fresh, lively, appropriate acidity, polished, balanced, long finish.”
— San Angelo Standard Times, Apr 2022
“The 2020 Lugana San Benedetto is spicy in character, with dusty florals giving way to hints of apricot and ginger. Its textures are soft and pliant, with an energizing lift of juicy acids and green citrus tones, as nuance of tropical fruit form toward the close. This leaves a pretty inner sweetness and contrasting hints of sour lime to linger, as the 2020 tapers off refreshing and crisp.”
