OM Wines writes: Cemento is Marangona’s top bottling of Lugana, made of the fruit from their oldest vineyards. Originally this bottling was partly aged in wooden barrels, but Alessandro isn’t a big fan of oak, so he bought some high-quality conical tanks made of food-grade cement to experiment with. The texture is outstanding, with richness from the skin contact balancing the zesty acidity of old-vine Turbiana.
