Le Morette winery showcases new Lugana vintages

At the roots of Lugana: it’s the claim with which Le Morette winery of Peschiera del Garda has landed in recent days at Vinitaly to present the new vintages of its products. The preview has also taken a gastronomic turn with the combination of new Lugana to some traditional recipes of Lake Garda and Verona prepared by chef David Bovo. In short, true to his defense of the “roots” of a territory, Fabio Zenato, leader of Le Morette, seems to suggest that the perfect match with his wines is the one with the flavors of tradition: so here’s the Whitefish in Carpione, here is a really excellent Salt cod Veronese, here’s a Boneless Guinea Fawl that goes particulary well with the new Lugana Reserve 2012, a full-bodied and round wine which still has margins of evolution over a long distance, as typical of the rest of a type, the Reserve, recently introduced bu the producers and intended specifically to show the Lugana’s extraordinary longevity perspectives. A perspective, as Zenato agrees, that probably has not yet been fully understood if it is true that the public always seems to push to preferably bring to the table the most recent vintage. While perhaps the Benedictus 2015, another wine presented by the company in the Verona fair, would suggest to wait another few months for uncork this bottle and enjoy it in all its full expressiveness. Already very pleasant is instead the Mandolara 2015, which by no means is the most immediate and fresh version of Lugana Le Morette and will not find it hard to become one of the popular bottles for next summer.
