Born from the Tiraboschi family, the Cà Lojera estate has grown by transforming a fruit and vegetable farm into a specialised winery. Owners Franco and Ambra Tiraboschi vinify estate-grown grapes cultivated on both flat and hilly land in the Sirmione area, with a focus on Turbiana for Lugana and a few plots on morainic hills devoted to international varietals.
Production philosophy
Production based on estate-grown grapes, with a focus on terroir and aging: at the winery they favor controlled fermentations and long aging periods to enhance the wines' longevity. They offer direct sales, tastings and estate visits.
Terroir and vineyards
In the heart of the Lugana appellation, between Sirmione and Peschiera del Garda, the soils are white clay on the lakeside plain, with small parcels on the morainic hills that lend the vineyards distinct character.
Awards and recognition
Numerous national and international recognitions, including mentions and scores from publications and competitions such as Decanter, Falstaff, Wine Critic, Gambero Rosso, Slow Wine, Viniplus and regional guides.
