Fraccaroli Lugana Pansere DOC

Fraccaroli Lugana Pansere DOC: A Refreshing Journey through the Italian Lakes

Uncork a taste of sunshine with Fraccaroli Lugana Pansere DOC, a captivating white wine produced in the heart of Italy's stunning Lake Garda region. This delightful offering from the renowned Fraccaroli winery embodies the essence of a classic Lugana – fresh, crisp, and brimming with personality.

Vineyard to Bottle: A Labour of Love

The Pansere originates from vineyards nestled south of Lake Garda, basking in the warm Italian sunshine. The grapes, exclusively Turbiana, a local gem, flourish in the calcareous-clayey soil, drawing mineral nuances that contribute to the wine's complexity. Fraccaroli meticulously cultivates the vines using the Guyot system, ensuring optimal sun exposure and grape quality.

Following a meticulous harvest, the magic unfolds in the winery. The grapes undergo a gentle pressing, preserving the delicate character of the Turbiana. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, allowing the pure fruit flavours and aromatic profile to shine through. The wine rests in steel for three months before spending an additional 3-4 months in the bottle, allowing it to mature and develop further depth.

Aromatic Symphony: A Dance of Citrus and Stone Fruits

Fraccaroli Lugana Pansere DOC is an olfactory delight. As you raise the glass, a wave of invigorating citrus aromas washes over you. Imagine zesty grapefruit mingling with hints of lime and lemon peel, creating a burst of freshness. Nestled amongst these citrus notes lies a subtle touch of white peach and apricot, adding a touch of sweetness and summer ripeness. The influence of the mineral-rich soil whispers through with a hint of earthiness, lending a touch of complexity to the bouquet.

A Sip of Sunshine: Freshness Personified

The first sip of Pansere is an explosion of vibrancy. The wine boasts a light to medium body, perfectly balanced by a surge of refreshing acidity. The citrus and stone fruit flavours translate beautifully from the nose, coating the palate with a delightful juiciness. A subtle hint of almond emerges on the mid-palate, adding a touch of sophistication and intrigue. The minerality, ever-present but never overpowering, provides a delightful backbone, ensuring a clean and lingering finish.

Food Pairings: A Match Made in Culinary Heaven

Fraccaroli Lugana Pansere DOC is a versatile food pairing champion. Its bright acidity and zesty character make it a perfect match for seafood dishes. Enjoy it alongside grilled prawns, pan-seared scallops, or a light fish stew. The wine's refreshing nature also complements creamy pasta dishes and salads bursting with fresh vegetables.

For a delightful vegetarian pairing, consider a goat cheese tart or a creamy risotto with asparagus. The wine's subtle almond notes beautifully complement poultry dishes, making it a great partner for roasted chicken or a light turkey dish.

Serving Suggestions: Chilled Perfection

To fully appreciate the vibrancy of Fraccaroli Lugana Pansere DOC, ensure it is served well chilled, ideally between 8-10°C. A white wine glass with a slight stem will help to preserve the cooler temperature and allow the aromas to develop fully.
