?Can Italian white wine to be appreciated over the year after harvest like the great Chablis?
? Can the clay soil give finesse and extractes?
? Is there minerally in white wines Italian?
The answers live also close to us, to the south of Lake Garda, in an area characterized by soils of clay matrix.
They are stratified clays of moraine and sedimentary origins, mainly of limestone, rich in minerals and of difficult character: compact, hard and inviolable when there is drought, soft and muddy with rain.
This is the area suited for the Turbiana vine, also known as Trebbiano di Lugana.
Recently it was been proven that this variety has elements of genetic differentiation compared to other varieties belonging to the family of Trebbiano and considered similar in the past, hence the choice of indicate in the regulations the vine with this ancient name to replace the now obsolete Trebbiano di Lugana.
The Lugana of this vintage year is definitely a wine appreciated and an undisputed Made in Italy wine flag, the tusk of us, Sommeliers, is to know and disclose the potential and longevity of these red wines with white clothes.
