This excellent wine is produced exclusively from the Turbiana grapes, that grow in the narrow strip of land on the shore of Garda Lake. After a very soft crushing, and thermo-controlled vinification, we obtain this elegant wine. Lugana Mandolara has got a pale straw-yellow colour, with green reflections. Its characteristic balanced bouquet is pleasant and fresh, with flower sensations. At taste it is attractively fruity, with apple and peach hints characterized, at the end, by a trace of bitter almonds. Its delicate and light flavor make it the perfect companion with a wide range of dishes from hors d’oeuvres to fish. Recommended serving temperature is 10° C; uncork immediately before serving.
