The Lugana DOC San Benedetto 2025 from Zenato Estate comes from the historic Lugana area south of Lake Garda. The vineyards are located in San Benedetto, one of the most traditional and renowned parts of the appellation between Peschiera del Garda and Desenzano. The area is characterised by clay-rich moraine soils, formed during the glacial period, which give the wines structure and a distinctive mineral character. The mild climate of Lake Garda also supports even grape ripening and contributes to the wine’s aromatic elegance.
The wine is made from 100% Turbiana, the native grape variety of the Lugana region. Turbiana is known for its lively acidity, delicate aromas and good structure, producing wines that combine freshness with complexity. The grapes come from selected vineyards in the San Benedetto area and are vinified carefully to preserve varietal character and aromatic purity.
In the glass, Lugana San Benedetto 2025 shows a pale straw-yellow colour with greenish reflections. The bouquet is fresh and elegant, with notes of apple, pear and pineapple, complemented by subtle floral nuances. On the palate the wine is full, balanced and fresh, with harmonious structure and lively fruit. The finish is long and clean, marked by a pleasant mineral note.
