About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is grown in the Lugana region, in the northern part of Garda Island. The soils are clay-rich and contain abundant mineral salts.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes undergo skin maceration and gentle pressing, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation using traditional methods.

Ageing

The wine matures in stainless-steel tanks.

Label / history

The Lugana area takes its name from the Latin Lacus Lucanus, meaning “lake in the woods.” From the 12th century, this densely forested land extending to Lake Garda was home to monastic estates.
