WINE DESCRIPTION
Zenato Lugana Metodo Classico Brut is a distinguished sparkling wine from the Lugana appellation in northern Italy. Produced by Zenato, this wine is crafted exclusively from Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana), a variety noted for its high acidity, making it ideal for sparkling wine production. The vineyards benefit from the cool climate and the moderating influence of Lake Garda, contributing to the wine's freshness and vibrancy. Following the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle, this Brut undergoes up to 30 months of aging on the lees, resulting in a medium-bodied wine of moderate intensity. Zenato Lugana Metodo Classico Brut showcases a refined palate with a delicate mousse, balancing crisp acidity with elegant flavors, offering a quintessential expression of the region's terroir and Zenato's winemaking expertise.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This sparkling white from the Lugana DOC in Italy is a sparkling blend of Trebbiano di Lugana and Chardonnay.Aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits are complemented by a palate of bright acidity and a creamy mousse. The finish is clean and refreshing with notes of white stone fruits, apple blossom, and a hint of brioche. A delicious aperitif or accompaniment to light seafood dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Zenato
Region: Lombardy
Lombardy is a region in the north of Italy, located in the foothills of the Alps. With a long history of winemaking, Lombardy is one of the most prolific wine regions in Italy, producing a wide range of styles from sparkling to still wines.
The history of winemaking in Lombardy dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known as Cisalpine Gaul. During this period, the Romans planted vineyards and developed winemaking techniques that are still used today. In the Middle Ages, Lombardy was an important center of winemaking, with many monasteries producing wine for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, Lombardy was one of the first regions in Italy to embrace modern winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels and the introduction of new grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
