| The last two types of Lugana foreseen by the standards have peculiar characteristics. The foremost novelty obviously is Vendemmia Tardiva, a remarkably different, more "experimental" type of Lugana that lacks the sweet viscosity of a traditional passito. Lugana of this type is in fact made with "over-ripened" grapes that have been allowed to remain on the vine till the end of Octoberearly November, instead of being harvested and then stored till suitably dry. The rich, more concentrated flavour of these grapes confer to this Lugana a "late" profile, softer and denser but not excessively sweet, where sugar content is balanced by acidity in a fashion similar to Alsatian Vendange Tardive or German Spätlese wines. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
