Limne Lugana, Lugana Riserva, DOC
Tenuta Roveglia
Born
in the thirties, Tenuta Roveglia boasts the most extensive vineyard in the area
of Lugana just south of Lake Garda. Tenuta Roveglia has 175 acres of vineyards
within the more than 245 acres of the estate.
The
grapes come from the area of Lugana that is designated as premier cru, which
was already heralded for its wine by the ancient Roman poet Catullo two
thousand years ago.
Limne is the name for Lake Garda in the Greek
language.
Lugana is a high-quality wine characterized by its gentle yellow color with brilliant reflections and aromatic notes of peach and vanillin. This wine offers a fruity accent with a dry and subtle elegant finish. It is particularly well suited for poultry, light pasta, and seafood dishes. Lugana is also the perfect aperitif.
