The Lugana DOC is greatly influenced by Lake Garda, whose warm breezes contribute to an ideal climate due to its mildness and low diurnal thermal excursions. The local variety, Turbiana, flourishes in this microclimate. The grapes come from two different plots within the Lugana DOC, which results in a wine of complexity and balance. 70% of the fruit comes from a vineyard in Pozzolengo, where the vines are planted on gentle morainic hills at around 100 meters. The soil in this hilly terrain is made up of sandy clay with a good presence of gravel which imparts bright aromatics and a fresh, natural
acidity. The remaining 30% comes from the flat vineyards in Desenzano, where the soil is made up of sedimentary clay, mostly of calcareous origin, and is rich in minerals. These grapes imbue the wine with structure and distinctive minerality. The Guyot-trained vines are planted at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare and the entire estate is cultivated sustainably and is certified for its biodiversity-friendly criteria.
