Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• DOC recognized in 1967, prior to the region of Lombardia; the territorial delimitation had already been established in 1966.
• The Turbiana grape variety has a compact pyramidal cluster, a thick pruinose skin, and a slightly tart pulp; it is genetically related to Verdicchio.

• The aromatic profile is defined by almond and citrus notes, with body, acidity, and sapidity as its structural hallmarks. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The base Lugana displays a straw-yellow or greenish color, tending toward golden with aging. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• The compact argille of morenic and sedimentary origin, predominantly calcareous, impart to Lugana its body, acidity, sapidity, and aromas ranging from almond to citrus.
