Born
in the
thirties, Tenuta Roveglia boasts the
most extensive vineyard in the area of Lugana just south of Lake Garda.
Tenuta Roveglia has 105
acres of
vineyards within the more than 245 acres of the estate. The
grapes are harvested by hand, soft pressed without the skins till no
more than 60% of the free-run juice is extracted. Fermentation in
stainless steel tanks.
The grapes come
from the
area
of Lugana designated as premier cru, which was already heralded for its
wine by the ancient Roman poet Catullo two thousand years ago.
Limne is the name in the Greek language for Garda Lake.
Tasting Notes: Lugana is a high
quality wine
characterized by its gentle yellow color with brilliant reflections and
aromatic notes of peach and vanillin. This wine offers fruity accent with
a dry,
subtle elegant finish, and is particularly well suited for poultry,
light
pasta and seafood dishes. Lugana is also the perfect aperitif.
