Ottella Lugana 2012

Ottella 2012 Lugana | 12.5% | An estate wine entirely harvested in small crates from their own vineyards, this elegant wonder is made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana (locally known as Turbiana) in the D.O.C. region of Lugana on the southern coast of Lake Garda straddling Lombardia and the Veneto in northern Italy. Beyond its citric bouquet this is chiseled in its minerality and brightly balanced with a lemony structure that is sure of itself making this a white wine of presence and power despite its immediate appeal and nonchalant charms. A lovely bottling beautifully crowned with the embossed coat-of-arms of the family which is an escutcheon proper bearing eight stylized cherubic faces to mark the birth of octuplets which graced the family in 1500. Stunning wine, lovely country, and a wonderful family as well!
