Located just south of Lake Garda, in Peschiera del Garda, Veneto. Le Morette winery produces top quality Lugana DOC white wines and reds in the Bardolino Classico DOC. Bardolino is similar to Valpolicella, with the same permitted grapes, it is a different terroir and typically a a bit lighter. The winery has about 40 hectares of sustainably farmed vines and have a “Friends of Biodiveristy” certificate.
Tasting Notes
A richly perfumed bouquet of white flowers, citrus and stone fruit. The palate is medium to full with high acidity and great concetration of floral, citrus, apple and peach flavours. Enjoy this as an aperitif, with fish, seafood pastas, grain bowls loaded with fresh vegetables.
Method
Made from 100% Turbiana grapes grown in the narrow strip of land on the shore of Garda Lake. The Lugana DOC is actually an inter-regional appellation shared between Lombardia and Veneto; Le Morette’s wines fall within the Veneto region. Turbiana was once known as “Trebbiano di Lugana” and some still refer to the grape by that name. It also shares some genes with Trebbiano di Soave and Verdicchio. After harvest, the grapes are gently crushed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.
