"There’s a wild peppery and herbal freshness to the 2018 Lugana Riserva Molceo that keeps you coming back to the glass. A pretty bouquet of fresh peach, nectarine, kiwi and hints of vanilla bean develops over time. This is weighty and oily at first, yet it’s lifted by cooling acids and minerals, as white orchard fruits and hints of savory spice flesh out across the palate. A salty tension lingers on, along with notes of dried apricot and a twang of tart citrus. - Eric Guido"

"Lugana Molceo is the usual thoroughbred white, marked by exotic fruit and notes of fresh flowers and citrus. The palate strikes immediately for its sapidity, which supports the generous, juicy mouth and exhilarating progression.”
"Apricots, chopped apples and salted almonds on the nose. It’s creamy, focused and medium-bodied, with a salty undertone to the fresh stone fruit"

"This Lugana Riserva opens with aromas of lemon zest, white blossoms and crushed stones. The palate is focused on the mineral nature, with flint, petrol and citrus notes tumbling together creating a richly structured wine. Partial malolactic fermentation and artful aging lend a creamy texture and a lingering finish designed for graceful evolution. Drink now–2035. — Jeff PORTER"
