Italian Gem

Lugana I Frati Lugana 2006
Ca' dei Frati , Veneto, Italy
100% Lugana (Trebbiano)..another quite obscure grape...
Dreamy..creamy...in fact..very creamy...this is natural..it sees no oak..and a year on from the last tasting..it is developing nicely..apricots still evident...and the acidity is slowly being enveloped....another 4 bottles to go..one every year will be interesting...a little gem of a wine...and was very well-priced at about € 10,--..which seems a bargain even now..
Points 16.5
