Vinification of the Lugana Le Creete DOC of Ottella

The Turbiana grapes for this Lugana grow in the single vineyard Le Creete, which is characterised by a particularly high proportion of white clay. Turbiana stands for Trebbiano di Lugana, a grape that has been grown in the Lugana region since ancient times. The grapes are harvested only at the end of September until well into October, exclusively manually. Most of the grapes are gently pressed as a whole, a small part is gently destemmed and then pressed. Slow fermentation at controlled low temperatures followed by ageing in stainless steel tanks on fine yeasts for a period of 6 to 8 months.
