White
Lucilla
By Pietro Cassina, Alto Piemonte, Piemonte, Italy
Lucilla is Pietro Cassina's still white wine made from 100% Erbaluce, fermented in stainless steel to express the minerality of Lessona's acidic soils.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with slightly greenish highlights. Pleasant fruity and floral notes on the nose, with a nostalgic hint of freshly baked bread. Harmonious on the palate, with great ribbing, never edgy, nice acidity, hints of aromatics and good persistence.
