Lombardy

Lombardia.png

The cultivation of grape vines in Lombardy dates back to VII-V century BC by Atestini, Etruscans and Ligurians, even if there is archaeological evidence to testify the presence of vines as early as prehistoric times. The climate of the region is very diverse, generally it boasts a continental climate thanks to the presence of the Great Lakes, but also in the mountainous areas and alpine valleys of Valtellina, where there is a good exposure to the sun with the absence of fog, this affords a milder climate than in the plains. Among the most important red grapes produced here, there is nebbiolo in Valtellina, barbera, bonarda, croatina, merlot and cabernet;pinot noir is produced in Oltrepò Pavese and in Franciacorta that together with the chardonnaygrape contribute to the production of sparkling wines. Apart from chardonnay, other white grapes produced are the tocai friulano, pinot blanc, riesling and various trebbiano.

Brolettino, Lugana DOC
€13.90

Brolettino, Lugana DOC

DIRECTLY TO YOUR HOME!

This is the wine of our great native vine: the Turbiana. Fully ripe grapes are harvested around the middle of October and the highly productive land gives us a product with structure and a great capacity for ageing. All its complexity is tangible to the taste. To the nose, there are hints of ripe fruit, peaches, yellow apples, rose petals with fresh, balsamic notes. The palate is enveloped by an invasion of flavour, maintaining all its freshness and elegance. The full structure is accompanied by a taut acidity and a characteristic savouriness that completely cleans the palate, leaving it full of delicate aromas. Perfect for winter soups, legumes and pasta with white sauces, white meat and poultry, medium seasoned cheese, fished cooked long and well and shellfish.
