Ca' Lojera Lugana Riserva del Lupo DOC 2018 (Italy)

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 95
Founded at the end of the 1980s, Ca' Lojera was one of the first 'new generation' wineries of Lugana. Its wines from the 18ha of vineyard on the coastal flats are now considered among the classics of the denomination, with a prodigious capacity for bottle ageing. The 2018 vintage of the Riserva del Lupo has a nose of dried fruit and herbs, a touch of smokiness and a rich, deep palate with an intense minerally finish. Drinking Window 2022-2030.
