2024 Lugana DOC, Guerrieri Rizzardi
Lugana, Veneto, Italy
Elegant and expressive, the 2024 Lugana from Guerrieri Rizzardi captures the unique character of the Lake Garda terroir. Crafted primarily from Trebbiano di Lugana, grown on white clay-rich soils in the San Benedetto di Lugana area, this wine reflects both heritage and precision viticulture.
On the nose, it offers engaging and attractive aromatics—white blossom, ripe stone fruits, and hints of citrus zest. The palate is silky and textured, with concentrated fruit, a refined sapidity, and a long, persistent finish. Its freshness and elegance are beautifully framed by the richness imparted by the clay soils, making it both approachable and age-worthy.
Ageing Potential: Best enjoyed young for freshness, but can develop complexity over 2–4 years
Food Pairing: A versatile partner to both freshwater and saltwater fish, fresh crustaceans, sushi, and young cheeses.
