Sweet
Luca
By Stefanino Morra, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Luca is Morra's late-harvest dessert wine from white grapes left on the vine into late November, long aged in barriques for an intense, amber-hued wine for meditation or to close a meal with fruit and desserts.
Tasting notes
Amber coloured, with characteristic aromas of dried and candied fruit, a smooth, delicately balanced, mellow, honeyed palate reminiscent of ripe fruit.
Pairs well with
Fruit and desserts at the end of a meal.
