Lugana Bertagna DOC 2024 (6 bottles)

Lugana DOC 2024 / Cantina Bertagna / Lombardy

Container of 6 bottles

White wine from Italy

The Lugana DOC from Cantina Bertagna hails from the southern shores of Lake Garda, more precisely from the commune of Pozzolengo in Lombardy. The vines thrive on clay-rich soils formed by glacial moraine deposits, which lend the wine its distinctive minerality and aromatic depth. A mild, almost Mediterranean microclimate, coupled with the lake’s proximity, creates ideal conditions for the native Turbiana grape - also known as Trebbiano di Lugana.

Cantina Bertagna cultivates its vineyards with meticulous care, relying on selective hand-harvesting to preserve the freshness and ripeness of the fruit. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, followed by six months of maturation without any influence of wood. The result is a white wine that expresses the varietal character of Turbiana with clarity and finesse.

In the glass, the Lugana reveals a straw-yellow hue with greenish highlights. The bouquet is both intense and layered: notes of apricot, honeydew melon and white peach mingle with delicate citrus accents of lemon and lime. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and mineral-driven, with an elegant acidity and subtle salinity. The texture is lean yet well-structured, and the finish long and aromatic – echoing stone fruit and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs.

As a food companion, this Lugana DOC proves remarkably versatile. It pairs beautifully with grilled fish, seafood, risotto, herb-infused pasta or dishes featuring lemon oil, as well as light preparations with vegetables or white meats. Served at 10–12 °C, it also makes a refined aperitif - especially when enjoyed as part of a convenient set of six 0.75 l bottles, perfect for sharing or savouring across multiple occasions.

Grape variety

TURBIANA (TREBBIANO DI LUGANA)

The origins of the Turbiana variety may be shrouded in the mists of history, but it is believed to have flourished in the fields around Lake Garda for centuries. Records from the Middle Ages already mention the Turbiana vine, known by various names including "Turviana" and "Trebbiano di Lugana". Activities of grape cultivation were documented as early as the 14th century in the San Colombano monastery in Lugana, most likely attributed to Turbiana. Throughout the 20th century, the cultivation of Turbiana grapes in the Lugana region intensified, and the quality of wines crafted from this variety gained increasing recognition. In the 1960s, Lugana was granted DOC status, later upgraded to DOCG. The leaves of the Turbiana vine are medium to large-sized, round, and gently undulating, with a rich green hue and often sporting a light fuzz. The grapes are large, with a loose, conical structure. Depending on growing conditions, they may cluster densely or more loosely along the vine. The berries themselves are medium-sized, round, and golden yellow. Turbiana exhibits adaptability, thriving in various soil types, but it favours well-drained soils rich in limestone or chalk, with a proportion of clay and loam. Good drainage and a wealth of minerals are advantageous. A temperate climate with ample sunlight is crucial for optimal vine growth and ripening. In recent decades, interest in wines made from the Turbiana grape has grown both nationally and internationally. Modern winemaking techniques and a deeper understanding of the grape variety have contributed to a continuous improvement in wine quality. Today, the Turbiana grape is closely associated with the Lugana region and plays a significant role in the Italian wine scene.
