Discover the nobility and elegance of Lugana Riserva DOC - Le Fornaci, a product from the renowned lands of Tommasi, a family of winemakers deeply rooted in Italian winemaking tradition. This wine stands out for its extraordinary combination of tradition and innovation, making it a prized example among the white wines of the Garda region.
Hailing from the southern shores of Lake Garda, Lugana Riserva is the result of a meticulous selection of Turbiana grapes. This native variety, appreciated for its ability to intensely reflect the unique features of the lake's terroir, gives the wine a distinctive aromatic profile and a complex structure. After the harvest, the wine matures in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and aromatic qualities of the grapes, followed by further refinement in the bottle that enhances its mature and complex traits.
On the palate, Lugana Riserva DOC - Le Fornaci presents an intense straw-yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, vibrant notes of ripe fruits like peach and apricot emerge, enriched by hints of almond and delicate floral touches. The entry in the mouth is smooth and enveloping, with a nice acidity that balances the aromatic richness, leading to a persistent and elegant finish.
This wine pairs divinely with fish dishes, shellfish, and preparations rich in aromatic herbs, as well as with soft cheeses. It is also ideal as a classy aperitif to start a celebratory meal. Each sip of this Lugana Riserva DOC is a tribute to the winemaking traditions of a unique territory, offering a sensory experience that lingers in the memory.
