Zeni Lugana Marogne 2021

Description

Cellar for up to 4 years. Serve chilled. The Zeni family have been making wine near the eastern shore of Lake Garda since 1870. In the 1950s the visionary Gaetano Zeni decided to relocate the winery to the hills around Bardolino, and the property is now run by his children, Fausto, Elena and Federica. In addition to their 25 hectares of estate vineyards they also source fruit from trusted partner growers who they have been working with for decades. This crisp and elegant white is crafted from 100% Trebbiano di Lugano grapes from the southern shore of Lake Garda. It’s a beautiful expression of the local terroir where vines are planted on hilly plots on clay and limestone soils. The fruit is carefully harvested by hand with only the ripest bunches selected. In the winery there is a short maceration on the skins followed by fermentation and ageing on the lees in stainless steel tanks for 6-10 months. Bursting with ripe peaches, zesty citrus, hints of mandarins and floral notes, this light bodied white wine has a smooth, well-rounded texture, bright acidity, and a pure, clean finish. The balanced flavour profile makes it a great wine to match with seafood, grilled fish, roast chicken, or creamy cheeses.
