Allegrini Lugana Oasi Mantellina 2024

Allegrini Lugana Oasi Mantellina 2024 is a wonderfully vibrant, crisp, and refreshing white wine that showcases the expert craftsmanship of the historic Allegrini family from their vineyards near the shores of Lake Garda. Composed of a thoughtful blend of Turbiana and a small touch of Cortese, this wine undergoes soft pressing and temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation with no oak contact, allowing its pure varietal characteristics to take center stage. In the glass, it exhibits a beautiful pale straw-yellow hue with delicate green highlights. The expressive aromatic profile greets the senses with a fragrant bouquet of jasmine, white peach, bergamot, and fresh citrus blossoms, underscored by subtle notes of green almond and a light, breezy salinity. On the palate, it is beautifully structured, balanced, and tensed with a lively acidity that perfectly frames the juicy pomelo and ripe stone fruit layers, concluding with a persistent, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs elegantly with fresh sushi and sashimi, salt-crusted sea bass, pasta with clams, vegetable couscous, or a Mediterranean herb-baked bream.
