2018 Ca’ Lojera Lugana Superiore
We needed a white that brings some weight to the table. And this stunner from the shores of Lake Garda is awesome. Proprietors Ambra and Franco Tiraboschi make their white wines with one grape variety, Turbiana. That's what the locals call it. After recent DNA testing, it has been determined that it is essentially the same variety as Verdicchio. The 2018 Ca' Lojera Lugana Superiore is pure class, and considering the price, it's a super value. It's bright and fresh, with aromatic hints of citrus, honeysuckle, and melon. The aromas are precise and persistent. On the palate, it opens up with a medium bodied amalgam of fruit and floral notes, and a steady stream of lively acidity leading to quite a pleasant, harmonious finish.
