Lugana Selva del Vescovo

Lugana D.O.C.

100% Turbiana

 

Selva del Vescovo Lugana combines the expression of the Turbiana grape with the Mediterranean exposure of Lake Garda. The vines are trained using the Guyot system, and the soil is morainic of glacial origin. In the glass it shows a bright yellow color. The bouquet offers white flowers and aromatic herbs. On the palate, its intense minerality and savory notes are underpinned by vibrant acidity. The label illustration depicts the monumental Tower of San Martino della Battaglia and a Saturno, a typical curial headpiece. Indeed, the prestigious vineyard is leased from the Verona Curia.
