Turbiana, "Lugana", Allegrini, Lombardia, IT, 2021

Blend: 96% Turbiana, 4% Cortese

At harvest time, the perfectly ripe grapes yield mature white fruit, with peaches that seem to be embraced by fresh floral notes. The palate immediately registers its typical richness, while the marked acidity provides a sinuous mouthfeel and lends agility.

Vineyard:

The company’s new venture on the shores of Lake Garda presents its highest expression in Lugana Oasi Mantellina

Winemaking:

After soft pressing of the grapes and fermentation, the wine is aged for about 4 months in steel tanks and for 2 months in the bottle.

The Allegrini family has played a leading role in the history of Fumane and Valpolicella Classica since the 16^th century and has handed down the culture of the vine and wine ever since.

The company, which is among the most important landowning families, experienced a profound period of transformation starting in the 1960s with Giovanni Allegrini. Recognized as one of the greatest architects of the rebirth of Valpolicella, Giovanni perfected the art of winemaking, meticulously selecting the grapes and introducing some important innovations in viticulture and oenology.
