NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This elegant white wine from the Lugana DOC of northern Italy has a pale gold hue and a refreshingly light and crisp flavor.The nose offers aromas of pear, apple, and honeydew melon, while the palate brings in tropical and citrus fruits, fresh herbs, and a hint of minerality. The crisp finish is balanced and focused, driven by the firm core of acidity and culminating in a hint of minerality that adds a touch of elegance.

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
