Descrizione

Lugana DOC San Benedetto - Zenato is born on the shores of Lake Garda, in the heart of Lombardy, a land famous for its mild climate and clay-loam soils that give the wine freshness and structure. This Lugana is made exclusively from the Turbiana grape variety, emblematic of the area, which gives San Benedetto an elegant and refined profile. The aging in stainless steel preserves the brightness and fruity notes, while a short bottle aging contributes to a harmonious balance. In the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow color, while on the nose it releases scents of white peach, almond, and wildflowers, supported by light mineral hints. The taste is fresh and soft, with a pleasant sapidity that invites the next sip. Ideal paired with fish dishes, shellfish, or delicate risottos, Lugana San Benedetto best expresses the authentic essence of the Garda territory.

The Santa Cristina estate and the Costalunga estate are cited as reference areas; the winery’s address is Via San Benedetto 8, 37019 Peschiera del Garda. Different documents and official pages report varying figures for the total vineyard area, so the overall extent is not consolidated into a single value here.
