Lugana Garda DOC 2022

Classification: LUGANA CLASSICO DOC Description: This wine has a clear, crystalline color, a savory and captivating aroma typical of the Turbiana grape variety, vinified as a single varietal as required by the production regulations, with an enveloping and fresh acidity. Vinification: The grapes are harvested during the second half of September at a good stage of ripeness, not late, to maintain their freshness intact. Vinified in steel at a controlled temperature with the use of special extractive yeasts capable of maintaining and enhancing the characteristics of the grape variety. The removal of heavy lees from the wine is followed by frequent and delicate batonage to keep the finest lees in suspension, lending complexity and elegance. The wine is then aged in steel until bottling to maintain its freshness. Production area: The grapes are selected from vineyards south of Lake Garda, mainly in the municipalities of Peschiera and Sirmione. Soil: White clay soil, heavy with an impermeable texture, basic pH. Aging / Refining: The Lugana is aged in tanks with gentle, frequent batonage (stirring) to facilitate the extraction of primary aromas, followed by three months in bottle before being released for sale. This strong, structured wine lends itself to short aging periods of up to three years, without suffering from the effects of time, but rather enhancing its complexity. Available formats: 0.75 cl bottles, cases of 6 Queen Pesante Verticale bottles. Natural flush cork, BVS screw cap available upon request.
