Riserva

Turbiana is a grape once thought to be the same as Verdicchio from Le Marche. However, DNA analysis has found enough differences between them to make Turbiana (also known as Trebbiano di Lugana) a separate variety. This Riserva is from vines in San Benedetto di Lugana, vinified in stainless steel and matured for 30 months on the fine lees, 80% in stainless steel and 20% in tonneaux. There's a cheesy edge to the sweet pear, apple and peach aromas, with a nuttiness to the mid-palate which lends depth to the breezy lemon and green fruit flavours. Sapid, fleshy and structured, this is calling out for some meaty fish.
