Lugana DOC Riserva 'Molceo' 2020 (750 ml.) - Ottella
Lugana Riserva 'Molceo' by Ottella is made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana grapes, in the area south of Lake Garda, between Brescia and Verona. This particular terroir is capable of producing wines of intense aromatic concentration and excellent aging potential, with elegant and mineral evolutions. Slightly late harvest and maturation for 16 months on the lees, mostly in steel and a small part in tonneau and barrique. The long aging gives it a rich body and considerable complexity. Wide and articulated bouquet, with aromas of ripe fruit and candied citrus peel. Seductive, soft, pulpy sip, with good freshness and clear mineral vein. To be tasted with an important seafood menu, with white meats or with a platter of aged cheeses.

Ottella winery has its roots in a land blessed with a particular winemaking talent, both for reds and whites. With one foot in Valpolicella and one in the land of Garda, Ottella creates a series of labels that want to faithfully express the territory. Lodovico, Francesco and Michele Montresor strongly believed in this land and decided to adopt it as the optimal substrate to give life to their dream: to originate unique, "breed" wines that could be recognized through a precise signature. They are as creative as they are firmly attached to the expressiveness of the terroir, which is exalted in its soil-vine pairing.
The absolute protagonist of the field and of the cellar is Trebbiano di Lugana, an autochthonous vine that embellishes the surfaces covered with vineyards in the area close to Lake Garda. Locally this variety is known by the name of "Turbiana" and has been the subject of numerous genetic studies by agricultural university bodies. At first thought to be related to Verdicchio, today it can be traced back to a link with other Trebbianos. It is a vine with strong vigor and, therefore, the training system is mainly directed towards low expansion types, favoring a double arched planting system. The Lugana area has a glacial origin: the melting action of the ice has caused the accumulation of debris which has created the morainic hills arranged like an amphitheater to protect the Lugana basin. It consists of layers of clay and limestone, unevenly distributed in the soil. This allows you to have, in the same area, different nuances that are reproduced in the wine through particular distinctive features.
The Ottella winery cultivates both white and red berried grapes, producing a large number of labels. Among the reds, the Venetian viticultural expressions of Amarone and Valpolicella stand out, while Trebbiano di Lugana reigns among the whites. Mineral sapidity, aromatic finesse and snappy freshness define the imprint of Ottella wines, which know how to tell the soul and essence of a vine and a territory.
