DOC straddling Lombardy and Veneto south of Lake Garda, benchmark saline, structured whites. Native Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana) as the sole grape: lively whites with signature notes of fresh almond, citrus, white apple, white flowers and a saline iodine mineral touch, taut and long palate — with unsuspected ageing potential. Still, oak-aged Superiore, ample Riserva and Spumante versions. Rich clay-limestone soils, ~1,800 ha.
Aperitif and lake fish.
Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.
