Fraccaroli Lugana D.O.C. Pansere 2023

Discovering truly exceptional Lugana can be a challenge, but we pride ourselves on our ability to navigate the wine landscape and unearth the gems within.

Fraccaroli stands as a paragon among Lake Garda's renowned producers, and their Lugana Pansere epitomises excellence. While the bottle exudes quality, it's the contents that truly command attention.

Nestled amidst the environs of Peschiera del Garda and Sirmione, the grapes flourish in calcareous and clay-rich soils. Turbiana, synonymous with Trebbiano di Soave, reigns as the native grape variety of northern Italy.

The 2023 vintage is nothing short of impressive. Radiating a straw-yellow hue with delicate green tinges, it entices with aromas of luscious light fruits—pear, white peach, and a whisper of apple—interwoven with vibrant citrus notes. On the palate, it asserts its stature as a quintessential Lugana—fresh and invigorating. The harmonious interplay of sweetness and acidity invites yet another sip, culminating in a gracefully nuanced finish adorned with a subtle hint of bitter almond.

While this Lugana is delightful in its youth, it possesses the potential for further refinement with a few years of bottle aging. Exercise patience and allow time to work its magic—this wine rewards the palate with each passing year.
