Lugana: A Wine, A Territory, A History – The Experience of the Zenato Winery

The Unmistakable Charm of Lugana

The Origins: A Unique Territory

This wine originates from Lake Garda, where a particular microclimate and clayey soils give Lugana a distinctive personality. The Turbiana grape, the native variety from which Lugana is produced, best expresses the peculiarities of this area.

Zenato Winery: A Name, A Guarantee

The Zenato winery, located in the heart of the Lugana area, represents one of the most prestigious realities in the production of this wine. Founded in 1960, Zenato has always worked with the aim of enhancing Lugana, bringing innovation while respecting tradition.

Gastronomic Pairings: Versatility and Elegance

Drinking a glass of Lugana di Zenato means immersing yourself in a world of flavors and aromas that tell the richness and diversity of a territory between two regions, Lombardy and Veneto.
