"VIGNE DI CATULLO", LUGANA, RISERVA, DOC, 2014
Tenuta Roveglia


Born in the thirties, Tenuta Roveglia boasts the most extensive vineyard in the area of Lugana. Tenuta Roveglia has 175 acres of vineyards within the more than 245 acres of the estate.

Vigne di Catullo is a Lugana of great personality.  Its delicate yet robust qualities satisfy the most demanding and discerning palates.  The grapes come from the area of Lugana designated as premier cru, which was already heralded for its wine by the ancient Roman poet Catullo two thousand years ago.

Tasting Notes: Its rich flavor, with accents of hazelnut and ripe fruit, and a focused, silky finish make this wine an ideal accompaniment for pasta in light sauces, roasted meats, seafood dishes, risotto and cheese.

93  POINTS  "Made from old vines, this stunning wine opens with heady aromas of ripe apple and fragrant white flower. Round and creamy, the palate delivers Bartlett pear, white peach and nectarine zest alongside fresh acidity. A white-almond note graces the persistent finish." — K.O.
