Tenuta Sansonina is situated in the south of Lake Garda, not far from Sirmione – where the lake breathes across the hills and the soils tell the story of what the last Ice Age left behind: A deep, clayey mixture of chalk and silt that stores water, buffers heat and gives the Turbiana grape that distinctive minerality which sets Lugana apart from everything else. Thirteen hectares, organically farmed, with vines around sixty years old – vines that know just how deep they need to reach. 100 per cent Trebbiano di Lugana, hand-harvested and carefully selected before the grapes reach the winery. The must is first cold-fermented statically, then ferments for around ten to twelve days in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. Six months’ ageing in stainless steel tanks, followed by one month in the bottle: no oak, no interference, just the wine and its terroir.

An intense straw-yellow colour with golden highlights. The nose is inviting and distinct – white blossoms, ripe apple, pineapple, pear, a hint of mango and fresh citrus notes that tie everything together. On the palate, it is full-bodied and harmonious, with that characteristic salinity that seems to speak directly of the clayey subsoil. The finish is fresh, mineral and remarkably long. A truly special Lugana that commands not only our full attention. SUPERIORE.DE

"Honeysuckle, ripe apple, vanilla and baking spice notes, laced with cream and patisserie custard complexity; a rich and gastronomic style." Decanter
