"Trebbiano is a white grape usually made into cheap, innocuous wines. The Ottella is neither. Rather, it is an example of what the grape can be when the viticulture is careful. With apricot and quince flavors, plus a little tangerine and lemon thyme, the wine is ideal for a weekend brunch on the patio or a first course of seafood salad. This is new to the D.C.-area market, but I hope it becomes a standard. 12.5 percent."

"Light straw color. The Lugana Blanco reveals pleasant scents of grapefruit. It's a bright, fresh clean wine with good flavor concentration of quince, citrus, and herbs. It finishes with excellent length. Made from the Turbiano grape, a clone of Trebbiano di Lugana."

"A supple, medium-bodied white, it conveys aromas of stone fruit, pine apple and banana. The juicy, round palate offers sweet peach, green apple, zesty citrus and a mineral note alongside crisp acidity. - Kerin O'Keefe"

"Aromas of white flower, tropical fruit and peach mingle in the glass. The round, juicy palate offers stone fruit, green apple and mineral alongside bright acidity. The lingering finish has a note of ginger drop. - Kerin O'Keefe"

"Tangy and delicious, this bright wine offers aromas suggesting white spring flower and ripe orchard fruit. The savory, linear palate doles out crisp green apple, honeydew melon and juicy grapefruit alongside fresh acidity."
