A much overlooked wine region that frankly makes the best white wine in the world is finally getting some notice in the wine press.  You really don’t read much about Lugana online or in print, and it’s a shame–though a small region and one overshadowed by its larger, high volume producing cousins in Soave and the Friulan hills, Lugana makes full flavored, rich, chewy whites that mesh perfectly with the seafood dishes you’ll find in the Veneto.

We loved our recent visit with the folks at Le Morette, and look forward to going back and tasting their latest work soon.
