Le Fornaci · Lugana DOC 2025

  Le Fornaci Lugana comes from the sun-kissed southern shore of Lake Garda, more precisely from the single vineyard “Le Fornaci” near Sirmione. This is where the grapes of the indigenous Turbiana variety are rooted—the mixture of loam and clay soil typical of this site gives the wine remarkable minerality and structure, while the gentle breeze from the lake provides elegant freshness. Gentle hand harvesting and delicate fermentation at cool temperatures preserve the fine fruit, giving the wine both accessibility and style.

In the glass, it displays a brilliant straw yellow color with slight green reflections—a visual symbol of clarity and youth. The nose reveals aromas of white peach, pear, and citrus fruit, accompanied by a subtle salty note reminiscent of the nearby lake and the special terroir. On the palate, this Lugana impresses with its lively freshness, supported by a delicate texture and balanced length - the fruit remains present and the minerality clearly perceptible. Ideal as a stylish aperitif or accompanied by light fish, rice, and vegetable dishes - a wonderful introduction to the white wine culture of Lake Garda. - Gerardo [TS10/26]
