Made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this wine is deep ruby red in colour. It’s complex on the nose and rich with lingering aromas that alternate between red fruit, ripe fruit, jam, and underly-ing hints of vanilla, spice, and a very light yet seductive herbaceous note. It’s dry and well bodied on the palate, with wonderfully balanced tannic structure that makes it ideal for ageing. The ideal match are game, grilled meat and mature cheeses
The vineyard is located in S. Cristina estate, in Peschiera del Garda, on the southern shores of Garda lake. Saddled between Lombardy and Veneto, one of the most original viticultural areas in all of Europe sits between the communes of Sirmione and Peschiera. A breathtaking landscape, made even more special by the amphitheater of hills formed thousands of years ago by glacial moraines. These origins are the secret behind the appellation’s deep-reaching, humid clay soils and abundant minerals. This is where Santa Cristina wines are born. Wines with character and an authentic expression of Lugana's distinctive terroir.
