It is the most appreciated of the white wines of the lower Lake Garda area. A DOC, that of Lugana, which the Veneto shares with nearby Lombardy. The grapes, 100% Trebbiano di Lugana, come from the estate's beautiful vineyards in Santa Sofia, which are located not too far from the shores of the lake, with roots that sink into the sandy soils, perfect for this variety. Super soft vinification and respectful of the raw material, this Lugana presents itself in the glass with a beautiful straw yellow colour, with bright greenish reflections. The nose is surprising for its elegance and refinement, with finely floral notes reminiscent of broom and wisteria. Then hints of almonds and minerals. In the mouth, on the other hand, it reveals itself to be a perfectly harmonious wine, with a good alcohol content and a natural freshness due to its natural acidity. The finish is clean, long and savoury, making it perfect for traditional pairings with fish dishes, both from the lake - after all, Garda is just a stone's throw away - and from the sea. The more mature Lugana wines, on the other hand, also go well with more fatty fish, such as eel, mussels and lobsters.
It is located in a beautiful site, that is, on a hill that rises very easily, which covers part of the city and is between two small valleys: all the surrounding hills are very pleasant and full of good water. It is with these words that Andrea Palladio described the places where the Santa Sofia winery is located today. We are in Valpolicella, the land of wine. The cellars are located below and to the side of Villa Santa Sofia, formerly known as Villa Serego. Begun in 1560 to a design by Andrea Palladio, the villa was built on commission by Marcantonio Serego, a highly respected nobleman who was married to Ginevra Alighieri. A historic winery in the territory (in the true sense of the term), Santa Sofia is now owned by Giancarlo Begnoni. Approximately 40 hectares of vineyards produce wines with a classic and traditional style. After all, in a place like this, it would be impossible not to.
