The grapes for Ottella Lugana Back To Silence are sourced from the winery's proprietary vineyards in San Benedetto di Lugana, Sirmione, Pozzolengo and Desenzano del Garda – all renowned wine growing regions.

Fermented in amphorae for 20-30 days with extended skin maceration, this Lugana has a distinct character derived from Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana) grapes.

Giving an intense golden hue with orange edges, the aroma of citrus, yellow fruits and subtle smoky notes are complemented by the elegant, citrusy palate of orange, grapefruit and lime.
