Crisp, Clean, and Utterly Refreshing
If spring were a wine, it would taste exactly like this: the 2022 Costa Arente Lugana. Straight from the sun-drenched southern shores of Lake Garda—where even the breeze seems to be on vacation—this zesty little number captures all the joy of the season in one perfectly chilled glass.
Made from grapes grown in soils left behind by glaciers (nature’s version of a wine consultant), this Lugana is bursting with citrus, delicate white blossoms, and just enough minerality to make your mouth water and your eyebrows raise in surprise. It’s juicy, it’s fresh, and it’s basically a floral-scented wake-up call for your palate. Pair it with asparagus, artichokes, or whatever else is causing chaos at your local farmers market.
The Costa Arente team keeps things clean and classic: after a gentle press and a cool ferment, the wine rests on its lees for six months—because even wine deserves a cozy nap. The result? A white with no oak, no fluff, and no need to explain itself. Just pure spring energy in a glass.
Now, this estate may be better known for its Amarone, but this Lugana proves they know how to keep things light on their feet too. With agronomist Giovanni Casati and legendary oenologist Riccardo Cotarella at the helm, Costa Arente is quietly turning heads—even if their vines are doing most of the talking.
So, whether you're brunching in the garden, picnic-ing in the park, or just pretending it’s warm enough to be on your patio, the 2022 Costa Arente Lugana is your seasonal sidekick. Bright, elegant, and ready to outshine that first daffodil.
Let us know how many bottles you’ll need to hold you over until rosé season.
