| Born in the thirties, Tenuta Roveglia boasts the
most extensive vineyard in the area of Lugana. Tenuta Roveglia has 125 acres of
vineyards within the more than 245 acres of the estate. Vigne di Catullo is a Lugana of great personality. Its delicate yet robust qualities satisfy the most demanding and discerning palates. The grapes come from the area of Lugana designated as premier cru, which was already heralded for its wine by the ancient Roman poet Catullo two thousand years ago. Tasting Notes: Its rich flavor, with accents of hazelnut and ripe fruit, and a focused, silky finish make this wine an ideal accompaniment for pasta in light sauces, roasted meats, seafood dishes, risotto and cheese.
