In Pozzolengo, a little hamlet in the Middle of the
Lugana production area,
Cobue wine cellar, funded in 1971.
The vinification is mainly oriented towards wines which are typically linked to the territory as
Lugana DOC,
San Martino della Battaglia,
Garda Classico Rosso Doc, but with some sparks towards a research of new flavours compared to the habits of the local production, as the
Brut ZERO Chardonnay metodo classico - Cobue, and the
Passito di San Martino.
The wine tasting of the
Lugana Monte Lupo 2017 - Cobue was a real surprise, that made us consider it among the best of its denomination.
Made up of 100%
Trebbiano di Lugana grapes, its color is light yellow with some green shades, while the aromas are floral, fruity (peach above all) with a light citrus note.
A the palate the acidity gives it freshness and match with a pleasant sweetness (and not filling as it often happens), softness and full body make it enjoyable and persistent sustaining a powerful alcoholic structure (14%) which isn’t invasive at all.
