Lugana DOC
The history of Lugana is strictly connected with the southern part of Lake Garda which is luckily influenced by a delicate but constant breeze. The vineyards growing on terrains close to its shores feed on mineral substances enriching the Turbiana grape with unique characteristic. Straw yellow color. On the nose it offers fresh fragrances of citrus and aromatic herbs such as sage and mint. On the palate it is tasty and well structured, sustained by a lively acidity and intriguing sapidity.DESCRIPTION
