Lugana DOC Riserva

Lugana DOC Riserva Monteci has the flavour of a Limited Edition. It was born from a thought: to let the already full-bodied structure of its essence mature in order to unleash its delicate aromas in an exotic and persistent symphony. To be remembered with elegance and sinuosity is its main vocation. It is aged for 18 months, confirming its enveloping and balanced complexity. They call it experience, we call it Lugana Riserva.
