Ottella Lugana Le Creete 2025

Ottella Lugana Le Creete is a characterful white wine from the heart of the Lugana appellation, crafted from Turbiana grapes grown in the distinctive Le Creete vineyard. Known for its aromatic finesse, fullness, and balance, it reflects both the mineral precision of the terroir and the long winemaking heritage of the Montresor family, who founded Ottella in 1960.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense golden-yellow color that immediately suggests richness and concentration. The nose is lifted and expressive, with exotic notes of pineapple alongside fresh grapefruit nuances. On the palate, the wine is generous and well balanced, combining continuous flavor, pleasing roundness, and a marked mineral backbone. The finish is especially enjoyable, leaving a clean, saline impression that adds length and freshness. While already very appealing now, its structure and harmony suggest it can develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
Le Creete is a vineyard site defined by a high content of white clay, a key factor in giving the wine its mineral personality and textural depth. The Turbiana grapes are grown in the Lugana DOC area, where the terroir favors freshness, aromatic precision, and natural balance. Harvesting is likely carried out with care to preserve the grape’s delicate aromatic profile, followed by vinification aimed at maintaining purity, finesse, and the wine’s natural expression.

Food & Serving
This Lugana pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, sushi, risotto with vegetables, and light white-meat dishes. It also works well with creamy pasta dishes and mild cheeses. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C; decanting is not necessary, though a few minutes in the glass will help its aromas open up.

Producer
