Cantina La Bacheta Luna 2024

Luna is Cantina La Bacheta's fresh rosé from the morainic hills surrounding Lake Garda in Custoza, where sandy and gravelly soils formed by ancient glacial debris create ideal conditions for local varieties. This is rosé with character and freshness, showing what the region can offer when it's handled with care.

La Bacheta is located in Custoza, working with respect and care in both vineyard and cellar. They're increasingly focused on preserving the integrity of their land, limiting operations that cause soil compaction, preserving trees that help maintain the escarpments, and cultivating vegetable gardens by reusing all organic waste materials including from winemaking as mulch.

Their vineyards range from 20 to 60 years old, from clay to steeper sandy escarpments. Each vintage requires interpretation, and they try to express the essence of what the land gives them. Along with 4 hectares of vineyard, they maintain fruit and olive trees alongside mixes of flowers and plants useful for pollinators.

Luna shows red berries, citrus, herbs, and that characteristic freshness from the proximity to Lake Garda. There's bright acidity that keeps everything lifted and precise, making it incredibly food-friendly. The wine has enough character to be interesting but remains approachable and easy to drink.

Serve it well-chilled with seafood, grilled vegetables, pasta with light sauces, or fresh cheeses. It's versatile, food-friendly, and works across a wide range of dishes. This is honest, drinkable rosé from Lake Garda at a great price.
