The Lugana DOC Metodo Classico Brut
LUGANA DOC METODO CLASSICO BRUT
Made with 100 % Trebbiano di Lugana grapes, this wine has an intense straw yellow color and hints of gold.
With elegant lingering bubbles and a creamy texture, it’s made from a top selection of grapes that give it clean and enchanting aromas.
On the palate, it’s balanced, a joyous but delicate wine, with a silky acidity.
The Zenato Lugana San Benedetto is made from a selection of the best grapes from the eponymous estate. The vineyards are some of the appellation’s most historic and are considered to be among its best.
Rich in personality and with great depth, this wine delivers a wide spectrum of fresh and complex aromas on the nose.
It’s full-bodied and full-flavored in the mouth, with notes that shift from dried apple and pineapple to pear and vanilla. Its long, brilliant finish lingers with delicious results.

Light brilliant gold in color, this wine delivers intense multi-faceted aromas on the nose, with floral and citrus notes, spices, white plum, and vanilla.
