Consorzio Tutela Lugana DOC meets Venice

The Consorzio Tutela Lugana DOC lands in the Lagoon and has chosen Venice as the setting for the first 2023 event, a unique city in the world, which continues to fascinate and attract millions of Italian and foreign tourists with its allure of exclusivity.

Lugana will in fact be among the protagonists of the first edition of Wine in Venice, an exclusive event in which Venice will become the wine center of our country from 28 to 30 January 2023 , hosting the first Red Carpet of wine for a simply iconic event. The setting will be a historic and prestigious building such as the Scuola Grande della Misericordia.

The first edition of Wine in Venice will focus on three themes chosen by the organizers (Winetales, Beacon, The Media Company, Venezia Unica), which will be the center of the debate of round tables and dedicated talks over the three days: sustainability, innovation and ethics .

Lugana will be the protagonist of the following events:

LUGANA MASTERCLASS

Saturday 28 January from 17 to 18

Alberto Ugolini will conduct a multi-sensory tasting entitled " Sensations of Lugana ".

Monday 30 January from 11.30 to 12.30

Chiara Giovoni will lead the guests " Discovering Lugana " and all its countless facets.

WALK AROUND TASTING “Timeless harmonies”

Monday 30 January from 3pm to 5.30pm

On the ground floor of the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, 20 producers will represent the Italian regions, selected for their interpretation of the values of sustainability, innovation and ethics, to also inspire the big names in the world of wine and beyond. Among these are the companies of the Lugana DOC Consortium which will present their wines to sector operators and wine lovers present.

The Lugana DOC will also be present at the Exclusive International Tasting Lounge, a multifunctional area, with controlled access, where the Lugana wines will be presented and the denomination will be explained.

“We are proud to be among the first to have believed in an initiative like Wine in Venice, which puts wine at center stage in one of the most beautiful and fascinating settings in our country. Venice has always been a crossroads of cultures, peoples, flavours, stories, therefore the ideal location to tell the many facets of our wine to an international audience. And in a city where in ancient times the most varied spices, perfumes and colors passed through, we tell the story of Lugana with a tasting that will amaze the senses of our guests” explains Fabio Zenato , president of the Lugana DOC Consortium.

Consortium for the protection of Lugana DOC

The Lugana DOC extends into just 5 municipalities in the hills of the southern shores of Lake Garda, a true jewel region from a wine-growing point of view. This Mediterranean microclimate, combined with the characteristics of the native Turbiana vine, gives life to a unique white in Italy for its personality, characteristics and versatility.
