The Lugana DOC "Le Civaie Terralbe" by Monte Zovo represents an excellent example of how the specific terroir of the Lake Garda area can express itself through the Turbiana grape. This wine stands out for its elegant profile and aromatic complexity, capturing the essence of the winemaking tradition of this prestigious appellation.

The vinification process begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes, carefully selected to ensure the highest quality. This is followed by controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, which helps preserve the wine's fresh and delicate fruity aromas. Subsequently, the Lugana "Le Civaie Terralbe" rests briefly in steel barrels before bottling, thereby maintaining its vibrant freshness.

Aesthetically, the wine displays a light straw-yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, the Lugana offers an intense bouquet dominated by notes of white-fleshed fruits such as peach and pear, enriched by floral nuances and a touch of minerality reminiscent of flintstone. On the palate, it is balanced and harmonious, with a lively acidity that makes it particularly refreshing. The finish is clean and persistent, with a beautiful continuity of the aromas perceived on the nose.

This wine pairs wonderfully with delicate fish dishes, like oven-baked sea bass, but is also ideal as an aperitif. Its elegance and freshness make it perfect for special occasions or as a refined gift for white wine lovers.

The Lugana DOC "Le Civaie Terralbe" by Monte Zovo is therefore an authentic and refined expression of the territory, ideal for those seeking a wine that combines tradition with drinking pleasure.
