OnePio Lugana Bianco is made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana 

No oak. Ageing on the lees for 6 months, plus an extra month in the bottle.

Soft, harmonious, full and well-balanced wine with straw yellow color. Multifaceted and fragrant aromas of almond, citrus and a slight touch of fresh pineapple. These wines can often be a touch on the dull side, but Onepoi is anything but dull. This perfectly balanced creamy white coats the palate leaving you wanting more of its minerality and refreshing citrus flavors. 

Grapes are grown on Clayish soils with Southern Sun exposure. The vineyards is 14 hectares in size (34.6 acres)
The best grapes are exclusively harvested by hand in small 15-kilo wooden basket that are placed in a refrigerating room for one day. 
Later, the grapes are washed with a special ozone treated water. After drying, the grapes are divided in two batches. 
The first batch undergoes the maceration, process connected to tradition, that leaves the obtained must in contact with the skins in a tank (one day), so it’s possible to obtain an higher extract of colors and perfumes, respecting the organoleptic features of the wine. 
The second batch faces a process more linked to innovative technology, so the grapes are pressed vacuum-sealed directly with the wine press at cold-temperatures. In this way the must is oxidized as little as possible. 
Both processing methods allow conferring a more complex gustative and visual aspect to the final product. The must decants for 24 hours, in order to eliminate the most unrefined particles. During the alcoholic fermentation, selected yeasts are added at the temperature of 19°C.

Review:

"Attractive lemon-custard character and nice creaminess on the mid-palate. Then, a rather smooth finish makes this an appealing Lugana. Drink now."
