Its extended maturation—two years in stainless steel followed by at least six months in bottle—gives the wine notable depth, persistence and ageing potential while preserving the precise character of Lugana. It is a distinguished expression of one of northern Italy’s most celebrated white-wine regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright and elegant in appearance, the wine shows a clear, luminous profile. Its aromatic expression is precise and layered, with the cool freshness of Turbiana complemented by subtle mineral and savoury nuances from the white, lake-origin clay soils. With further aeration, the nose develops greater complexity and depth.\n\nOn the palate, it is structured, generous and persistent, balancing a broad, flavourful texture with refreshing acidity. The long maturation contributes to a poised, savoury finish and an impressive sense of harmony. While approachable now, the wine has the structure to develop further in bottle and should age gracefully for approximately 5–10 years under suitable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyards are located in Rovizza di Sirmione, near Lake Garda, where the Turbiana vines are rooted in distinctive white clay soils formed from an ancient lakebed. Grapes are harvested late, generally between the end of October and the beginning of November, to achieve concentration and complexity while retaining aromatic precision. Fermentation and maturation take place in stainless-steel tanks for two years, preserving the wine’s purity and definition. The wine then rests for at least six months in bottles stored in underground cellars below the level of the lake, where a naturally constant temperature supports its development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts structure and freshness make this Lugana Riserva a versatile partner for refined seafood dishes, grilled or roasted fish, shellfish, risottos, freshwater fish from the lake region and poultry in delicate sauces. It can also complement mature soft cheeses and vegetable dishes with creamy or savoury elements. Serve at approximately 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential, but opening the bottle 20–30 minutes before serving—or gently aerating it in a suitable decanter—can help reveal its layered aromas and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCa’ Lojera is based in Rovizza di Sirmione, one of the most distinctive areas within the Lugana appellation. The estate places particular emphasis on expressing the local Turbiana grape and the white clay soils surrounding Lake Garda, using late harvesting and prolonged cellar ageing to create wines with depth and longevity. Its underground bottle cellars and patient maturation are central to the winery’s identity, allowing this Riserva to showcase the region’s ability to produce complex, age-worthy white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ca Lojera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54558219174225,"sku":"XW-62358","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/ca-lojera-lugana-riserva-del-lupo-2022","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
