Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato NV

It all started in 1960 with his father Sergio Zenato, who with energy and ambition, animated by his deep bond with the territory, experimented with new winemaking techniques and invested on native vines, to obtain wines of the highest quality. Today, his wife Carla together with his sons Alberto and Nadia, with the same passion, tenacity and infinite dedication, make Sergio’s great company grow, spreading the excellence of Zenato wines in over 60 countries of the world. Thus, the soul of the Lugana territories and the heart of Valpolicella continue to expand their borders. The vineyards extend for 75 hectares in the Zenato estate of S. Cristina in San Benedetto di Lugana, suited to Trebbiano di Lugana and in the Costalunga estate in Valpolicella, home of the famous Amarone Zenato, which is home to the renowned Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta vines.

The history of Lugana Riserva dates back to 1993 when Sergio first understood the potential of the Trebbiano di Lugana grape. The Reserva embodies his innovative and foresight spirit, as well as the courage to propose the Lugana in a renewed style. The fermentation takes place at around 70% in 50 hectolitre oak casks and 300 litre tonneaux and 30% in steel. Ageing follows for around 6 months in barrels and 12 months in the bottle before being put on the market.
