The celebrations for the anniversary of the Protection Consortium end today in Sirmione with an extraordinary tasting of historic vintages.

Fresh from the success of "Lugana, Timeless Harmonies", the maxi tasting that brought together over 500 #Luganalovers and 50 companies last week in Milan, the Consortium is now proposing an event homage to the territory, in collaboration with the Consorzio Albergatori Restauratori Sirmione ( CARS). To taste the best vintages of the last 30 years, to retrace together the qualitative growth of Lugana, deepen its styles and appreciate its extraordinary longevity.

"We have come a long way in these 30 years of the Consortium's work, a work carried out mainly along two lines - affirms the President of the Consortium Ettore Nicoletto -. Internally, thanks also to some companies that have paved the way, the supply chain has become aware of the great value, but above all of the great potential of its territory and of the wine that is an expression of it: an awareness that was substantiated in the inclusion of Lugana Superiore in 1998 and of the Riserva and Vendemmia Tardiva in 2011. Externally, also through the promotion of the Consortium, the guidelines that now guide both the internal market and exports have multiplied, broadening the horizons and laying the foundations for the work of the coming years. Now all that remains is to look ahead, because precisely from its in the past it is clear that Lugana is a denomination that will still be able to evolve in the future ".

Below is the list of rare and precious bottles for tasting, proposed by 42 wineries, from now unobtainable 1995 until the last harvest , which will be offered as an aperitif during convivial moments to toast the present and future of the DOC:

The Consortium's Virtual Stand will also be active for the entire week, a digital space dedicated to interaction and study, hosted in the platform's innovative Wine Networking Hub, one of the most important innovations of the 2020 edition.

Lugana has an amazing longevity: master Veronelli affirmed it in 1998 and today some of the most important and authoritative representatives of Italian enology are witnesses, gathered in Sirmione for "The ages of Lugana", the extraordinary and exclusive retrospective of old vintages wanted by the Protection Consortium as the highlight of the celebrations for its 30th anniversary.
