Zenato Lugana Riserva Sergio 2021

Zenato is one of the leading wineries on the southern shores of Lake Garda, where this family-run estate has been crafting elegant and refined wines for decades. The Lugana region is known for its fresh, mineral-driven white wines made from the Turbiana grape. Closely related to Verdicchio, Turbiana produces wines that combine floral freshness with structure and impressive aging potential. The Lugana Riserva Sergio 2021 is Zenato’s flagship cuvée: rich, layered, and full of personality.

Tasting Note

Nose

The nose is intense and refined, with aromas of ripe peach, citrus blossom, toasted almonds, and a hint of honey. Mineral notes of wet stone and subtle oak add complexity and depth.

Palate

On the palate, the wine is full and creamy, yet remains lively thanks to its bright acidity. Flavors of juicy nectarine, lime, herbs, and a touch of vanilla unfold beautifully. The texture is silky and concentrated, without ever feeling heavy.

Finish

The finish is long, soft, and mineral, with a hint of salinity and an elegant touch of white pepper. A wine of class and balance, ideal for those who appreciate refined, structured whites.

Zenato

Zenato was founded in 1960 by Sergio Zenato, a visionary winemaker who was among the first to recognize the potential of Lugana and Valpolicella. Today, the estate is run by his children, who continue the family legacy with the same commitment to quality, terroir, and innovation. The grapes for the Lugana Riserva Sergio are hand-harvested from old vines in Peschiera del Garda, where clay-limestone soils impart tension and structure. The wine is aged partly in oak and partly in stainless steel, maintaining the perfect balance between freshness and complexity. This cuvée bears the name of the founder, and it shows: an homage to elegance, craftsmanship, and family heritage.
