The Lugana DOC “San Benedetto” 2024 by Zenato is made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana (Turbiana). The grapes come from the historic “San Benedetto” vineyard on the southern shores of Lake Garda, where the vines thrive on clay and gravelly moraine soils. The mild climate and the lake’s influence give the wines freshness and minerality. After careful harvesting, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, followed by several months of ageing on the fine lees to enhance depth and structure. In the glass, it shines a pale straw yellow with delicate greenish hues. The nose reveals elegant notes of ripe peach, citrus fruits, banana and subtle herbs. On the palate it is fresh, lively and smooth, with clear, well-integrated acidity, harmonious balance and a long, brilliant finish. The name “San Benedetto” refers to the historic area once linked to Benedictine monasteries – a symbol of tradition and origin.
