Lugana
Summary:
Located on the beautiful southern side of Lake Garda, the Lugana DOC is home to the Turbiana-based white wines that are increasingly attracting recognition thanks to their fresh acidity, full-body, versatility and ageing potential.
The influence of Lake Garda and the characteristic local clay soils combined with the unique characteristics of the Turbiana grape produces some of the most distinctive white wines of Italy.
