Description
Grape: 100% Trebbiano di Lugana
It’s full-bodied and full-flavored in the mouth, with notes that shift from dried apple and pineapple to pear and vanilla.
Its long, brilliant finish lingers with delicious results
Winemaking and ageing
The grapes are harvested by hand, gently pressed and fermented for approximately 15–20 days in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 16–18°C. The wine matures for four to five months in stainless steel, followed by an additional two to three months in the bottle before release.
Food pairing
Zenato Lugana San Benedetto pairs beautifully with:
- Grilled sea bass or sea bream
- Seafood pasta and risotto
- Prawns, scampi and shellfish
- Grilled octopus
- Sushi and sashimi
- Fresh salads and antipasti
- Risotto with vegetables
- Roast chicken and delicate white meats
- Carbonara and creamy pasta dishes
- Fresh and soft cheeses
It is also an excellent aperitif.
Serving recommendation
Serve chilled at 8–10°C. Enjoy while young to appreciate its freshness and vibrant fruit, or cellar it for two to three years to develop greater complexity.
