Product Profile
Founded by Gino Zenato in the early 60’s, this family winery was originally set up as a nursery to produce vine stock for the local area. In 1981 Gino’s son, Valerio, stepped into the company and it is his influence and skill that have brought the company to where it is today.
The Lugana DOC sits on the edge of Lake Garda in Northern Italy. The lake itself influences the vineyards, creating a more suitablie climate for growing grapes for high quality wines.
One of the things we love about Le Morette is the winery’s passion for environmental practices. They don’t use herbicides and synthetic fertilisers. They plant cover crops in the vineyards to attract the greatest number of insects for the benefit of vegetative balance. Irrigation is only used in emergencies They even make their own honey.
Winemaking
A blend of Trebbiano (Verdicchio), Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes are grown sustainably on the banks of Lake Garda. Fermentation is at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting Note
Brilliant, light yellow colour, with green reflections; it is very fresh, with an interesting interplay of floral and fruit aromas, that are reminiscent of green apple, pear and apricot. It has a pleasantly dry flavour, with fresh acidity and delicate smoothness.
