  Olivini Lugana (White) 2023 - RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

  Bruised orchard fruit. Lightly floral. Crunchy acidity. Not the most complex or concentrated, but pretty enough and with good fruit. Pretty, balanced acidity. A step above your standard Italian white but still in the same mindset as a Pinot Grigio - just a bit more concetrated.

  Olivini Lugana (White) 2022 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

  Bruised orchard fruit. Richer, riper, sweeter than the 2023. Slightly herbal. Pretty, menthol, peppermint. A touch of liquorice. Beautiful balance - much better and more exciting than the 2023.

  Olivini Lugana (White) 2019 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

  Struck match, flint. Green apples and a touch of liquorice. Very fresh, zippy, pithy. More evident structural phenolics and tannins. Classy and complex. Ageing well.
