tasting
TASTING NOTES
Pale yellow colour with greenish reflections, delicately fruity and floral aroma, dry taste, pleasantly harmonious.
Selection of the best grapes, soft pressing and subsequent fermentation of the must at controlled temperature. The wine is then aged in both steel and cement, with a minimal percentage maturing in small oak barrels.

The “Le Creete” Lugana is a white wine with enveloping aromas, impressing on the palate with its refinement, while not sacrificing character and personality. A rich label, with an enterprising sip, always very satisfying, where the Trebbiano di Lugana takes centre stage. A grape particularly dear to the Ottella winery, a production reality always attentive to creating balanced labels, where nothing is out of place. Just like this “Le Creete”, a wine that pairs well with first and second courses where fish is the protagonist.

This Lugana “Le Creete” is made from Trebbiano di Lugana grapes, which have always been widely cultivated in the areas surrounding Peschiera del Garda. The grapes are trained by Ottella using the guyot method within the “Le Creete” vineyard, characterised by a subsoil rich in white clay. The grapes, once selected and harvested, are pressed and naturally decanted, then fermented in steel tanks. The process continues with aging, also carried out in steel for a period ranging from 6 to 8 months, after which the wine is ready to be bottled.

The “Le Creete” is a Lugana with a strong and lively colour, reminiscent of straw yellow. The aromas that develop on the nose are mainly fruity, enriched at the finish with mineral nuances. On tasting, it is light-bodied, harmonious, easy-drinking and smooth, with a sip characterised by a fresh and savoury taste, very inviting. A label that embodies the spirit and motto that guides the Ottella winery in every phase of the production chain, embracing the words of the writer and poet Goethe, who said that “the best things are achieved only with the utmost passion.”

We are located in Veneto, more precisely in Montecchia di Crosara, in the heart of Soave, on the eastern slope where the soils are extremely steep and characterised by a large presence of volcanic basalt slabs, elements capable of imparting extraordinary tension and minerality to the wines produced.

Here Andrea Fiorini Carbognin has been working since 2014 (although he has been working, producing and interpreting wine for over 25 years) with a small plot of vines aged between 40 and 60 years, choosing to restore form and dignity to a noble grape variety like Garganega.
In the vineyard, work is done with cover crops, without synthetic chemical products and with the least interventionist approach possible, while in the winery, two visions of the same grape are chosen: one more free and simpler (Etichetta Verde), and one more structured and rich (Garganuda), leaving intact in both cases the greatest possible territorial expression.

Stylistically, the wines produced are always tense, mineral, fresh, straight and territorial, where the volcanic soils and old vines become the nerve centre for Andrea's wine production.


The Etichetta Verde is a Garganega from vines about 40 years old located on the eastern slopes of Soave.
A wine produced without sulphur and extraordinary for its cleanliness, intensity, impact and depth, but above all for its quality-price ratio that is hard to match.
Complex yet simple sip; straightforward, citrusy, mineral and enriched by echoes of hydrocarbon that nod to the great wines of Mosel.

Garganega, a native white grape variety from Verona, Chardonnay and Sauvignon.
Wine with an intense golden yellow colour. On the nose, it presents sweet and welcoming fragrances of white peach, apricot and elderflower. On the palate, Fira Bianco reveals itself to be juicy and savoury, with fresh citrus hints of pink grapefruit and an intriguing finish of mint.
