Lugana DOC

Summary

South of Lake Garda, this DOC is situated both in Veneto and Lombardy. White wine is the focus with the principal grape now being called Turbina instead of Trebbiano di Lugana. The best wines can age for up to 5 years, with lively acidity supporting evolution of apple and lemon flavours with a hazelnut complexity and a saline finish. Top producers age in oak.
