Lugana wine - fresh from Lake Garda
Lugana is a dry white wine from the Italian region of Lugana on the southern shore of Lake Garda. It is made from the Trebbiano di Soave grape variety and is known for its fresh, fruity flavor that can range from citrus and apricot to peach and pineapple. Lugana wines are often served as an aperitif or with light appetizers, fish and seafood dishes, or with risottos and pasta dishes.
Top wines from the Lombardy wine region
The Lombardia region in northern Italy is an important wine-growing area with a rich wine tradition that extends over a multitude of hills and valleys. The areas around Lake Garda, Oltrepò Pavese, Franciacorta and Valtellina are particularly known for their first-class wines.
Lake Garda and its surroundings are famous for the cultivation of the autochthonous grape variety Trebbiano di Lugana, from which the popular Lugana white wine is produced. The combination of the mineral soils, the mild climate and the cool breezes blowing from the lake give these wines their characteristic freshness and elegance.
Oltrepò Pavese, located south of Milan, is the largest wine region in Lombardy and offers a wide range of grape varieties, including Sangiovese, Barbera and Moscato. The hilly landscapes and the Mediterranean climate create optimal conditions for viticulture and allow the production of high quality red and white wines.
The Franciacorta area, east of Lake Iseo, is famous for its sparkling wines, which are produced according to the traditional method, similar to Champagne. The main grape variety in this region is Chardonnay, which is responsible for the lively acidity and complex aromas of these elegant and high quality sparkling wines.
In the Valtellina Valley, in the north of Lombardy, one finds steep vineyards planted on the terraces of the Adda River. Here are produced mainly red wines from the Nebbiolo grape (locally also called Chiavennasca), which have complex aromas of red fruits, spices and a pleasant acidity.
The wines from Lombardy are varied and of high quality.
