A decedent burst of vanilla bean and almond paste gives way to a more refined and pretty mix of crushed apples, lemon oil and spice as the 2020 Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato comes to life in the glass. It’s silky-smooth and supple with a textural wave of ultra-ripe orchard fruits perfectly balanced by saline minerals and tongue-curling acidity. The 2020 lingers impossibly long while remaining wonderfully fresh, with hints of citrus custard and sweet spice that linger on and on. The Riserva Sergio Zenato finds a lovely balance between oak influence and the zesty character of Trebbiano di Lugana.

Country
Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
Region
Veneto
As historically one of the most important regions in the world regarding trade and experimentation, it comes as no surprise to discover that Veneto has always been a well respected and innovative wine region. This area of north-easterly area of Italy benefits greatly from a continental climate tempered by the Alps, and plenty of influence from the Germanic countries it is near to. Veneto is most commonly associated with beautifully elegant white wines, such as those of Soave, and has over ninety thousand hectares under vine. Impressively, within that area, over a third of the vineyards in the Veneto region have been granted official AOC status, and many of the sub-regions and appellations of Veneto have gone on to be world-famous in regards to quality. One such example is Valpolicella, where some of Italy's finest and most complex red wines are produced.

A toasty white, with a rich range of pear tart, quince paste, toasted almond and lemon meringue flavors, which are well-defined and enlivened by sleek acidity and salty minerality. Medium- to full-bodied, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2028. 3,000 cases made, 100 cases imported.

Fermented partly in new Allier oak (30%), the rest in tank. Settled on lees thereafter, conferring an almond mealiness and pungent mineral undercurrent to the stone fruit top notes. While the waft of cedar oak is rather obvious, there is depth, grunt and an impressive savoriness to this, not to mention tenacious length. This should age well across the mid-term.
