Ottella Lugana Le Creete 2024

The grapes come from Ottella's estate vineyard, Le Creete, consisting of 12 hectares in the heart of Lugana in Veneto. Here the vines are 30-40 years old and the soil is marked by a high white clay content. These characteristics give to the wine a unique elegance and minerality. In Veronese dialect “Creete” means “creta” which is clay.  

Made of 100% unoaked Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana), this has an intense golden yellow color with lush exotic aromas of pineapple and ripe grapefruit. A remarkable mineral sensation follows in this white wine of great character and aromatic elegance. Richness, consistency and balance inform this determined, mineral wine with gratifying pulp.

Ideal with seafood, soups, pasta and rice dishes; also very pleasant with strong-flavored cheese and blue cheese.
