TASTING NOTES

Production

It was 1964 when Lodovico Montresor welcomed Professor Vescia of the University of Brescia and Engineer Turlini to the family villa in Peschiera: two friends with whom he shared an idea to put into practice: to give a geographical identity to a wine known since the time of Catullus and produced with the Trebbiano from Lugana, known here as Turbiana. So when we speak of the Ottella winery, we are also speaking of the history of Lugana, as they were born side by side from the same hands. The winery gained new momentum in the mid-1980s, when Francesco Montresor, fresh from his law degree, joined his father; in 1993, his other son, Michele, also joined the business. Ottella is now a 90-hectare estate in Lugana, to which 20 hectares in Valpolicella have been added, on the magnificent hills of Romagnano in Valpantena, and continues to shape the history of Lugana. 100 ml: E=319 kJ/77 kcal

Organoleptic Characteristics

Lugana DOC “Le Creete” is a Venetian white wine made from 100% Turbiana grapes grown in the estate’s own vineyards in S. Benedetto di Lugana. The grapes are hand-selected between late September and early October, and alcoholic fermentation is followed by ageing on the fine lees for 7–8 months. Deep golden yellow in colour, the nose surprises with notes of ripe exotic fruit and mineral hints. On the palate, it is refined and elegant, with good body and a firm, mineral finish.

Occasion and Pairing

An everyday wine, its flavours are further enhanced when paired with shellfish, sea fish or lake fish.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 14–16°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Ottella

As a book on the history of Venetian wines testifies that, the Montresor family, owners of the Cantina Ottella, were among the best producers of Lugana as early as 1905. Since 1964, Lodovico Montresor has been working to give this important white label a strong and recognisable identity, which led to the creation of the specific designation a few years later. Situated in a region that is particularly well suited to viticulture, the Ottella vineyards extend across an area of glacial origin, whose clay and limestone soils are the result of centuries of debris accumulation. Extreme care is devoted to each vine, for which a double-arched implant system is preferred. A ventilated microclimate gives the final touch to the grapes, promoting the growth of excellent, healthy grapes. At the Ottella Winery, the fruit is processed in the most natural way possible, emphasising the flavour with very few ingredients, to make simplicity an added value. The Ottella wines obtained encapsulate all the essence of the soil in which they are grown, releasing mineral notes that are intriguing on the palate. Name and address of producer/distributor: Ottella - Loc. Boschetti, 37019 San Benedetto di Lugana, 37019 Peschiera del Garda (VR). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
