Description

Let me introduce you to a gem from the heart of Veneto, Italy: the Secondo Marco Lugana della Valpolicella. This isn't just another bottle of red; it's a story bottled, a testament to the passion and dedication of the Secondo Marco winery. Nestled in the prestigious Valpolicella region, known for its rolling hills and ideal climate, this winery embodies the spirit of Italian winemaking. This Lugana is a blend of traditional grape varieties, including Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. These grapes, grown under the watchful eye of experienced winemakers, contribute to the wine's unique character and complexity. The 2012 vintage, captured in this bottle, is a product of a particularly favorable year, resulting in a wine of exceptional quality and balance. It's a dry wine, meaning it doesn't have a noticeable sweetness. On the nose, you'll be greeted by inviting aromas of ripe red berries, predominantly cherry, that dance from the glass. It feels very inviting. On the palate, this wine unfolds with layers of flavor. You'll notice the characteristic cherry notes, complemented by subtle earthy undertones. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a gentle structure without being overpowering. The finish is medium-length and pleasant, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. It has an alcohol percentage of 12.5%. With a serving temperature of 16°C and letting it rest for at least 15 minutes allows the wine to fully express its aromas and flavors. The Secondo Marco Lugana della Valpolicella is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its light to medium body makes it an excellent accompaniment to roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or light pasta dishes. It's also a fantastic match for a charcuterie board with various cheeses and cured meats. It is best paired with Mediterranean cuisine, adding depth and complexity to seafood, and enhances the flavors of a hearty lasagna. Whether you're planning a romantic dinner, a casual get-together with friends, or simply want to unwind after a long day, this wine is the perfect choice. It's a conversation starter, a mood enhancer, and a culinary delight all in one bottle. It costs on average 18.50 EUR, as it is being sold at www.tannico.it.
