WINE DESCRIPTION
Fabrizio Luli, the owner of Cantina Luli, grew up in Piemonte, in a restaurant family. For over 60 years, the Iuli family served award winning Piedmontese cuisine. However, it was the locals asking for a house wine that got Fabrizio interested in winemaking.
Fabrizio Luli likes to make his wines in the Piedmontese tradition, using cement and oak. Based on the characteristic white earth and the minerality of the soils he aims to make subtle wines. Wines that are elegant, fresh, crisp, vibrant and easy to drink.
The Luli Umberta is his entry level wine. The wine has a bright ruby red colour. The nose has scents of red fruits and violets. The palate is fresh, smooth and juicy with lively tannins.
