Trebbiano Di Lugana
The Trebbiano di Lugana or turbiana is a white grape variety grown in a small area south of Lake Garda. In this area, between the provinces of Brescia and Verona, the Trebbiano di Lugana has found a perfect habitat, thanks to the almost Mediterranean climate of the southern Garda coast, always mitigated by the gentle breezes of the lake. The lands are of ancient glacial origin, with a flat area formed by deposits of white clays, rich in limestone and minerals and a band of low morainic hills with a very sweet profile.
From a genetic point of view, the Trebbiano di Lugana shares DNA with the nearby Trebbiano di Soave and the Verdicchio Marche. They are, in fact, different clones of a single grape variety, which then differentiated over time and which express different wines also in relation to the terroir in which they are grown. Lugana wine is a white with a floral and fruity profile, with good structure and lively acidity. It is a very ductile variety, which allows to produce sparkling wines with the Metodo Classico, still wines, late harvests and passito wines, all of excellent quality. It also has considerable potential for evolution towards tertiary aromas and is one of the Italian whites who is not afraid of the passage of time.
