Tommasi
Lugana 2022
Lugana
Tommasi Lugana Le Fornaci comes from the southern shores of Lake Garda, where the Turbiana grape thrives in the clay-rich soils of Lugana. Tommasi’s long-standing estate in San Martino della Battaglia produces elegant, citrus-driven white wines with vibrant acidity and impressive aging potential. Estate farming and lees aging create a wine with real structure, aromatic complexity, and drinkability. Versatile and stylish, Le Fornaci captures the energy and finesse that have made Lugana one of Italy’s most exciting white wine regions.
VINTAGE
The 2022 Veneto growing season had a mild, dry winter and a hot, dry summer, leading to an early harvest and wines with concentrated flavors. The summer drought reduced vegetative growth and resulted in dehydrated berries, but also a disease-free vintage. The harvest began early, with some regions finishing by the end of September. The wines show intense, ripe fruit, and good acidity. Early ripening white grapes were harvested in mid-August, followed by reds in September.

Reviews
Vinous - December 1, 2023 "The 2022 Lugana Le Farmaci is remarkably fresh, with a vivid blend of green apples and minty herbs complemented by sweet spice. This opens with a pleasant inner sweetness offset by crunchy mineral tones, displaying an attractive mix of candied citrus and ripe green melon. It finishes with medium length and youthful tension as a salty flourish calls the taster back to the glass."

Ripasso Valpolicella

Le Rosse Pinot Grigio
DOC delle Venezie
This Valpolicella Pinot Grigio can be described as sitting between the richer, more concentrated Pinot Grigio from Friuli to the north, and racier styles from the Veneto at large. The nose is spicy with hints of tropical fruit, the flavors clean and crisp, and the body round and soft with a crisp finish.
