The key to 2023 in the Lugana designation area was the advent of multiple hailstorms. Our vineyards were
also affected, but human intervention played a crucial role in enabling the grapes to heal and the leaf walls to
develop in a healthy manner, thus ensuring the successful completion of of ripening. The ripening process was
slowed because of these events; hence, the decision on when to pick the bunches proved essential to preserve
quality. This year, precision harvesting and strict bunch selection were of primary importance in order to process
only the best ripe berries. Fortunately, September was marked by an ideal climate, with sunny days and cool
nights, which helped us recover and attain the desired degree of maturity
The dry, non-sparkling style of Lugana in its simplest versions is excellent as an aperitif and paired with appetizers or freshwater fish such as trout, perch and whitefish. The versatility of this wine goes even further: the international appeal of the flavour of Lugana makes it a perfect match with raw fish, such as the Japanese preparations of sashimi and sushi and international variations on the theme. It is also ideal with
salmon and tuna and goes perfectly with fish-based finger food.

Clear scents of white fruit embellished by the delicate aromaticity brought by the few clusters of Cortese grapes that complete the wine. In the mouth, it strikes with a saline thrust and a sleek profile that relies on the acidic presence, which constitutes its true backbone.
