Aldi, Specially Selected, Lugana, Lombardy, Italy 2020

Tasted by: Tina Gellie
(at Tate Modern, London SE1, 20 Oct 2021)
Drinking Window: 2021 - 2022
A new wine to Aldi from Castellore (as is the equally good Specially Selected Greco di Tufo, £7.99), this fruit-forward white shows lots juicy stone fruit, pear and floral notes on nose and palate, with green apple acidity to balance the ripeness. A crowd pleaser that works just as well on its own as with a seafood platter. Online and in store.
