Description
The Lugana “San Benedetto” comes from grapes cultivated between the municipalities of Peschiera and Desenzano, in the area near the southern shore of Lake Garda. The vineyards are located in a flat area with clayey soils that are particularly well-suited for grape cultivation. Harvesting is typically done by hand towards the end of September and the beginning of October. The grapes are gently pressed, and the must is started for fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C in stainless steel tanks, lasting for approximately 15-20 days. The Lugana “San Benedetto” matures for 4-5 months in steel and completes its aging with 3 months in the bottle before being released for sale.
