Lilium 2023 - Limited Edition White Wine from Lake Garda
When we first saw the bottle of Lilium 2023 , we were intrigued by the name. Then we discovered its history: the lilies depicted in the Puegnago del Garda coat of arms, a symbol of beauty and authenticity. And when we tasted it, we knew the name was perfect.
This Lake Garda white wine comes from the hills of Soffaino, in the heart of the Valtènesi region overlooking the lake. A limited edition, 2023 vintage. It's not a wine you can always find; it's one you have to grab at the right time.
The blend that surprises
Groppello, Incrocio Manzoni, Trebbiano Valtènesi . Yes, you read that right: Groppello in a white wine. It's not a mistake, it's a choice. The red grapes are pressed immediately to extract only the heart of the berry, without color, just structure and character.
The white grapes, on the other hand, undergo a 12-24 hour cryomaceration at low temperatures (5-8°C) . This process enhances the primary aromas, giving the Lilium white wine intense and defined aromas, without excessive color extraction or astringency.
Then, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16°C and aging in steel for 5-6 months. No wood, no frills. Just a clean technique that respects the grape variety.
In the glass (what you feel)
Straw yellow color – clean, bright, inviting.
On the nose: fine and intense, with notes of exotic fruit, aromatic herbs, and spices . This is not your usual banal white wine; it has personality.
On the palate: dry, fresh, balanced , with excellent structure and long aromatic persistence.
This white wine from Valtènesi has that something extra that makes it interesting. It's not just fresh, it's complex. It's not just drinkable, it's memorable.
